Alloy 25 / Copper Beryllium (UNS172000) is a high-strength copper beryllium alloy that can be age hardened to property combinations tailored for individual application requirements.
Alloy 25 / CuBe offers high material strength even in large cross sections and the best thermal and electrical conductivity capability available in a high-strength material.
We stock all common sizes of Alloy 25 Bar and Tube in HT and AT tempers.
