C17500 copper tube is a beryllium bronze alloy with extremely high strength and hardness, thanks to the addition of the element beryllium and a special heat treatment process. It exhibits excellent mechanical properties while maintaining copper’s excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, making it an ideal material in high-end fields such as aerospace, electrical and electronic appliances and medical equipment.
In addition, C17500 copper tube has excellent corrosion resistance and anti-fatigue properties, enabling it to work stably for a long time in complex environments. It maintains excellent performance in both marine environments and the chemical industry, and is therefore widely used in the manufacture of precision parts, springs, electrodes and other components requiring high strength and reliability.
