The Difference Between Beryllium Copper and Beryllium Cobalt Copper

Beryllium copper c17200 is the electrode material with the highest hardness of copper alloys. After beryllium copper containing Be2.0% is subjected to solid solution and aging strengthening heat treatment, its ultimate strength and wear resistance can reach the level of high-strength alloy steel. High hardness and wear-resistant electrode materials are commonly used beryllium copper. The heat treatment process of beryllium copper is: 1050-1060K solid solution, 573-603K aging treatment for 1-3h, beryllium copper is commonly used for electrode materials with the highest hardness and wear resistance after heat treatment. The heat treatment process of beryllium copper is: 1050-1060K aging treatment for 1-3h, the highest hardness of beryllium steel after heat treatment can reach HV=350 or more, but the conductivity at this time is low, usually around 17MS/M. The melting temperature of beryllium copper is low. When the temperature exceeds 1133K, melting may occur. Its softening temperature is also low, generally not greater than 673K. If the temperature exceeds 823K, beryllium copper will be completely softened. Due to this characteristic of beryllium copper, it is generally not used for spot welding and seam welding electrodes with small contact area and high welding surface temperature, otherwise its electrical and thermal conductivity will be low and cause serious adhesion.
Beryllium cobalt copper: Beryllium cobalt copper containing Be0.4%-0.7% and Co2.0%-2.8% is the most important kind of electrode copper alloys with high strength and medium conductivity, and plays an important role in resistance welding. Beryllium cobalt copper is a heat treatment strengthened alloy. Adding beryllium and cobalt to copper can form metal compounds with high melting point and high hardness, which can significantly improve the strength of copper. Cobalt can also delay the decomposition of solid solution during heat treatment and improve the precipitation hardening of the alloy. Effect. The heat treatment process is generally: 1220K1-2h after quenching, cold working with 30%-40% compression rate, and then aging heat treatment at 720-750K for 2-3h, the highest hardness of beryllium cobalt copper after heat treatment can reach HV=250- 270, the conductivity is between 23-29 MS/m. Nickel beryllium copper is an alloy with very similar properties to beryllium cobalt copper. When nickel beryllium copper contains Be0.2%-0.4, Ni1.4%-1.6%, and Ti0.05%-0.15%, its hardness can reach HV= 220-250, conductivity 26-29MS/m, the service life of stainless steel and heat-resistant steel welded with nickel beryllium copper is 5-8 times higher than that of chromium copper, and 1/3 higher than that of beryllium cobalt copper. Nickel silicon copper: nickel silicon copper It is a heat treatment strengthened alloy with high strength and hardness, and good wear resistance. It is an alloy with high performance that can replace beryllium copper electrode material. The alloy can form intermetallic compounds due to nickel and silicon during heat treatment. And precipitation of dispersed phase, so as to strengthen the matrix, commonly used nickel-silicon-copper containing Ni2.4%-3.4, si0.6%-1.1%, after 1173K solution quenching, 720K aging heat treatment has higher mechanical properties and electrical conductivity Rate. Nickel-silicon-chromium-copper is a copper alloy developed on the basis of nickel-silicon-copper, and its performance is closer to beryllium-cobalt copper. Nickel-silicon-chromium copper contains Ni2.0%-3.0%, Si0.5%-0.8%, Cr0.2 %-0.6%, after 1170K solution quenching, 50% cold deformation processing.

When seam welding electrodes, it is used to weld stainless steel, high temperature alloys, etc. that still maintain the characteristics of high strength at high temperatures, because high electrode pressure needs to be applied when welding such materials, and the strength of the electrode material is also required to be high. It can be used as electrode for spot welding stainless steel and heat-resistant steel, electrode holder, shaft and electrode arm for force-bearing electrode, as well as electrode wheel shaft and bushing for seam welding stainless steel and heat-resistant steel, mold, or inlaid electrode. Copper is widely used in the manufacture of inserts and cores in injection molds or steel molds. When used as inserts in plastic molds, it can effectively reduce the temperature of the heat-concentrated area and simplify or eliminate the design of cooling water channels.
