ToughMet – A High-Strength Specialty Alloy for Harsh Applications

ToughMet® 3 copper-nickel-tin alloys are spinodally hardened, providing attributes beyond those typically found in high-strength copper alloys, including:

• Tensile and fatigue strength even at elevated temperatures
• Corrosion, erosion and wear resistance in most oilfield environments
• Control fluid compatibility
• Magnetic transparency
• Anti-friction and anti-galling characteristics
• Excellent machinability

Advantages

• High-strength including at much higher temperature than C17200 BeCu / Alloy 25
• Non-galling
• Non-magnetic
• Resistant to sour conditions, including 100 x better than C17200 BeCu / Alloy 25
• Easy to machine

C17200 Beryllium Copper (BeCu) / Alloy 25 – When high thermal conductivity is needed

When trace amounts of beryllium is added to other metals, it can significantly enhance the properties of the base metal. Beryllium Copper (BeCu) alloys offer a unique combination of strength, conductivity, hardness and corrosion resistance and are non-magnetic and spark resistant.

For Oil & Gas applications, BeCu alloys provide the best combination of thermal and electrical conductivity with corrosion resistance and high strength for downhole drilling tools such as collars and subs, flex subs and shafts, rods, bushings, valve components, pump shafts and fasteners.

Advantages

• High strength in tubing and also large sections
• Non-galling
• Non-magnetic
• Resistant to chloride corrosion and cracking
• Tolerant of vibration and moderate temperature (spring force for electrical and electronic connectors and contacts)
