Main technology characteristics |
CuNiBe is a precipitation hardening Cu-alloy. In the heat treated normal condition, the material possesses considerable hardness and thermal stability with good electrical and thermal conductivity. Special production processes can lead to particularly high conductivity. |

| Processing Instruction |
Hot forming: |
| CuCoBe is suitable for
hot forming at about 1650 - 1300 °F. A high oxidizing furnace
atmosphere should be avoided. Rapid cooling is recommended after hot
forming.
Cold forming: |
|
| CuCoBe is suitable for
cold forming. Intermediate annealing for softening can be carried out at
approximately. 1470 °F with subsequent rapid cooling.
Heat treatment: |
|
| To achieve optimum properties, CuCoBe should be solution heat-treated and fast quenched in water. This
is followed by age hardening.
Solution heat treatment: |
|
| 1650 - 1760 °F. 15 - 60 minutes. Quenching in water | |
| Hardness measurement control: max. 100 HB | |
| Conductivity control: approx.
12 m/Ωmm²
Age hardening: |
|
| 860 - 930 °F 1 - 5 hours. Air
cooling (Not in water!)
Machining: |
|
| It is recommended that this type
of machining (e.g. turning, milling, drilling) be done in the age
hardened condition. If drilling, use a drill with a larger angle or
twist. Allow for sufficient cooling.
Solder Capability: |
|
| CuCoBe or
C17510 can be soft soldered in the age
hardened condition. However, the maximum temperature during soldering
cannot exceed 750°F. Hard soldering with a silver solder with a low
melting point is also possible. Nevertheless, a loss of hardness is to
be expected even with limited soldering. Gas-shielded and resistance
welding are also possible, though preferably in a solution heat-treated
condition. Allow for adequate aeration and ventilation as well as
welding smoke extraction. Clean metallic surfaces are required for all
soldering. > Material Safety Data Sheet, Issue 01.05.97 (acc. to EC-Directive 93/112/EC)

|
| Application | CuCoBe
or C17510 is used for electrodes, brackets, and shafts for
spot, seam, butt and projection welding for materials with high strength
and greater electrical resistance as well as cast steel.
C17510 can also be used as cooling inserts in molds, molds for
non-ferrous metals, inserts in steel tools requiring a fast
cooling speed, and molds for plastics, leather and wood imitations
as well as for nozzles and needles for hot channel systems,
sealing heads, and die-casting pistons.
!! NEW !! C17510-Special Tempers has additional uses. It is an excellent choice for seam welding for the production of radiators and tin containers, resistance welding for the production of welded wire mesh, and flash-butt welding for the production of wheels (wheel rims).
