Full Name
Copper-Beryllium-Lead Alloy
CuBe2Pb is a copper-beryllium-lead alloy. Each element in this alloy contributes specific properties:
- Copper (Cu): Provides excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as good mechanical strength.
- Beryllium (Be): Adds to the strength and hardness of the alloy. It also improves the alloy's thermal stability and resistance to fatigue and corrosion.
- Lead (Pb): Included in small amounts to improve the alloy's machinability and to provide some lubricating properties.
This combination of elements makes CuBe2Pb suitable for applications requiring high strength, good conductivity, and ease of machining, such as electrical connectors, springs, and certain aerospace components.
