BERYLLIUM COPPER - E-CATALOGUE

7 Beryl l ium Copper, wi th i ts high thermal conductivity compared to steel, offers significant advantages in minimizing part distortion, dimensional control and cycle time. Its superior thermal fatigue and strength characteristics allow longer tool life and less down-time. All of these advantages translate into higher productivity and cost effectiveness. NGK Rod and Plate provides exellent resistance to the corrosive by products of molding operations such as hydrochloric acid. This property make PLUS, SUPRA and ULTRA Plate the mold material of choice for PVC and other corrosive resins. Filled resins have a higher than normal tendency to wear mold materials. PLUS, SUPRA and ULTRA Plate competes favorably with most steel in wear applications and it can be plated with nickel and chromium to further enhance performance. The high strength and wear resistance of NGK, ULTRA Plate provides superior performance at neck and thread areas, as well as bottoms, when combined with other mold materials.

However, precautions must be taken against softening and oxidation of the material. Filler metal of the same alloy should be used and oxides, oil and dust should be removed from the parts prior to welding. For mor e i n f orma t i on , p l ease con t ac t ou r Engineering Department.
