Copper alloys
Beryllium Copper C17200
UNS C17200 is wrought copper-beryllium alloy.
Identity / state reference
What distinguishes this material
Aged properties depend on prior cold work and the precise temper; not every part must be machined soft and then aged.
- Designation in this reference
- UNS C17200
- Forms covered by the sources
- Flat product
- other forms require their own table
- States to distinguish or confirm
- Solution-treated/cold-worked/precipitation-treated condition must be identified
- Temperature and exposure
- No general service-temperature limit or temperature-independent strength is established by this page. Check the temperature and duration for the specific source table and application.

Property evidence for a stated condition
No condition-specific numerical table is reproduced here
The linked sources establish the identity and the stated product/state scope. Obtain the row for your actual form, section, treatment and test conditions before adopting strength, hardness or a thermal limit.
Resolve these conditions next
- Which temper is delivered and which heat-treatment/inspection stage defines the final properties?
- Obtain the full material certificate, governing specification/edition, product dimensions and test direction before adopting a property value.
For machining, take the exact grade, supplied condition and measured hardness where applicable into the tool maker’s application data. A generic material-family speed is not a substitute for an operation and tool-specific recommendation.
Sources and what they establish
Reviewed 23 October 2026. A source’s publication date and the review date are different. The scope below identifies the fields checked.
Copper Development Association — C17200
Specific alloy database entry; identity and listed form/temper distinctions. Direct fetch intermittently returns 403; indexed first-party text inspected on review date. No supplied-batch certification.
Copper Development Association — C17200 ↗Source identity, a named product example and a supplied-batch certificate are different evidence. Cross-standard similarity does not approve substitution.
Corrections from the previous article
- Remove the universal 1200 MPa aged result and mandatory soft-machining route; use the supplier SDS for handling requirements.
- Remove the untraceable generic machining recommendation (45 %) and cutting-speed ranges; select machining data by actual material condition, tool and operation.
