Beryllium copper compression springs

As a special spring type, beryllium copper compression springs has unique properties and application scenarios. Beryllium copper compression springs have many characteristics, such as high electrical conductivity, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc., and it can be formed in a soft state.

The high electrical conductivity of beryllium copper compression springs makes them ideal for electrical applications that operate in special environments or at extreme temperatures. HSPR offers beryllium copper springs to meet your requirements, and we can also design custom beryllium copper springs to meet the needs of new or upgraded electrical equipment.

beryllium copper compression springs

Beryllium copper has the following properties and is the best choice for making springs:

  • The alloy has high machinability.
  • Beryllium copper has good ductility.
  • Weldable.
  • Beryllium copper resistance to non-oxidizing acid
  • Good durability.

Beryllium copper is ideal for spring alloys when considering the use of springs in corrosive environments. Beryllium copper is also known as spring copper, and why it can be used in many electronic and electromechanical equipment is because it has the best electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

Beryllium copper compression springs can withstand large pressures and maintain stable elastic deformation, suitable for applications requiring high resilience and durability. Beryllium copper also has good corrosion resistance and can be used in a variety of environments for a long time without damage. Beryllium copper is also a non-magnetic material suitable for use in magnetically sensitive electronic devices or instruments. The high electrical conductivity of beryllium copper makes it an advantage in spring applications where electrical conductivity is required.

Beryllium copper compression springs are widely used in the following fields:

  • Communication equipment: used for shielding equipment such as shielding rooms, cabinets and computers;
  • Electronic equipment: such as mobile phones, computers, etc., the support and connection of internal components.
  • Medical equipment: Medical equipment requiring high precision and high durability.
  • Industrial equipment: such as engine valve springs, shock absorbers, etc.

The processing of beryllium copper compression springs includes material preparation, cutting, forming, surface treatment and quality inspection steps. Due to the particularity of beryllium copper materials, each link needs to be strictly controlled in the processing process to ensure the quality and performance of the product. Common processing methods include cold stamping, electroplating, spraying and so on.

Other beryllium copper compression springs

To sum up, beryllium copper compression springs occupy an important position in the market with their excellent performance and wide application scenarios. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the rapid development of industry, the application prospect of beryllium copper compression spring will be broader.

FAQ

Why is beryllium used in springs?

Beryllium is a good additive, it can increase hardness, strength, high conductivity and thermal conductivity. It also has anti-wear and anti-fatigue properties.

Is copper suitable for springs?

Copper has many properties that make it a great choice for making springs, and it is an easy-to-use metal that is ductile and easy to handle. Copper has excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

What is the difference between copper and beryllium copper?

Beryllium copper and copper have some similarities, but they are two completely different materials.As we all know, copper is a soft metal, and beryllium copper is known for its high strength.  Of all the copper based alloys, beryllium copper has the highest strength, which makes it a popular choice for making springs.  Copper has an electrical conductivity of 100%, while beryllium copper has a conductivity of 15-30%, and unlike copper, which is mainly used for appearance, beryllium copper has a high hardness and strength.
