Beryllium Copper Rod and Plate for the Plastics Industry
Berylco Plus, Supra and Ultra products are designed with one goal in mind. Improved profit through improved performance. Plate Products are available in three grades from two alloy systems.
-
Berylco Plus - higher conductivity, lower hardness beryllium copper
-
Berylco Supra - medium conductivity, medium hardness beryllium copper
-
Berylco Ultra - lower conductivity, higher hardness beryllium copper
