Abrasive Wear Resistance

• Beryllium copper offers attractive wear resistant properties compared to other copper base alloys and many ferrous alloys because of its complex oxide transfer wear films.
• The high strength of age hardened parts makes them capable of sustaining bearing loads far in excess of other copper base alloys and gives the added advantage of compatibility with high hardness ferrous alloy shafts.

Corrosion Resistance

• Nearly equal to nickel silver and is not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement.

High Fatigue Strength

• Beryllium copper is known to have high fatigue strength because of its toughness and resistance to local deformation.

Non-Magnetic

• Extremely useful for housing sensitive detectors affected by magnetic fields.
