The hardness of High hardness C17100 beryllium copper plate is significantly affected by the heat treatment state:

Solid solution state: Hardness is approximately HRC 20-25 (corresponding to HB of about 150)

Tempering state: Hardness can reach HRC 35-42 (up to HRC 42), some sources indicate that the hardness can increase by up to 130-350HV after tempering.

Hardness change mechanism

The High hardness C17100 beryllium copper plate is strengthened through the "solution treatment + aging" process:

‌Solution treatment‌: held at 790-810℃ for 30 minutes, then rapidly cooled (water quenching)

‌Aging treatment‌: held at 315-345℃ for 2-4 hours, the hardness peak occurs in the later stage of aging

Typical application scenarios:

‌High wear resistance scenarios‌: such as precision mold inserts, bearing bushings, etc., which require components with high hardness.

‌Elasticity-demanding scenarios‌: such as springs, connectors, etc., which need to balance strength and elasticity in structural components.
