Louis Metals provides Copper Alloy C17300 rods and bars that combine electrical conductivity with heat-treatable strength. Manufactured to ASTM B194/B196 specifications, these bars provide the consistency and accuracy necessary for both industrial parts production and electrical component manufacturing. Their balanced nature makes them an excellent selection for critical components that need electrical performance and mechanical toughness.
C17300 contains about 1.8–2.0% beryllium, making it one of the strongest copper alloys. It develops tensile strengths up to 1400 MPa in hard-tempered condition and maintains 20–25% IACS conductivity
. It is heat-treatable, wear-resistant, and non-sparking and operates effectively in high-cycle, high-stress environments.
