About C17300 Leaded Beryllium Copper
Cube2Pb--C17300 (CDA 173) Leaded Beryllium Copper is a high-performance alloy that closely resembles the leaded version C17200. It offers excellent mechanical strength after heat treatment, making it ideal for demanding applications. The addition of a small amount of lead enhances its machinability, allowing for efficient and precise automatic machining processes. This lead content helps in forming fine chips, which reduces tool wear and increases cutting tool longevity.
