Research Progress on Microalloying Composition Design of Beryllium-Copper Alloys铍铜合金微合金化成分设计的研究进展 1.1 Optimization of Traditional Alloying Systems 1.1 传统合金化体系优化 The traditional commercial beryllium copper usually adopts a beryllium-cobalt-nickel composite strengthening system. By adding cobalt and nickel elements, the precipitated phases can be refined and the coarseening at high temperatures can be inhibited, thereby enhancing the alloy’s creep
Beryllium copper alloys combine excellent mechanical, physical, chemical properties, and corrosion resistance. Through heat treatment (solution treatment and aging treatment), they exhibit high strength limits, elastic limits, yield limits, and fatigue limits comparable to special steels. They also offer high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, hardness, and wear resistance, along with good castability and non-magnetic properties.
