UNS C17200 beryllium copper alloys are ductile and produced in mill hardened and heat treatable tempers. These alloys are used for all applications, which require high strength, stiffness and good conductivity. The tensile strength of C17200 copper is over 1380 MPa (200 ksi).
Copper has the ability to be formed into alloys more freely than most metals, and can be combined with a broad range of alloying elements. This metal has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of any commercial metal.
Copper alloys exist in more than 400 varieties. Each copper alloy variety has specific properties that suit a number of manufacturing processes, environments and applications.

Carbon steels are steels that contain only carbon as their major alloying element. These steels also contain small quantities of copper, nickel, molybdenum, aluminium and chromium. Traces of 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese can also be found in these steels.
Steels of the type A2, A3, A4, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10 are known as air-hardening, medium alloy, cold work steels or group A steels.
Carbon steels are steels having carbon as primary alloying element. They are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They also contain 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese.
Steels containing mostly carbon as the alloying element are called carbon steels. They contain about 1.2% manganese and 0.4% silicon.
Air-hardening, medium alloy, cold work steels or group A steels include the A2, A3, A4, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10 steels.
The Paralympic games are bigger than ever, with 4280 athletes competing across 166 teams, and much new found media attention.
