High-performance conductive and high-hardness solutions designed to withstand rigorous manufacturing conditions in Colombo, Gampaha, and Kandy districts.
As Sri Lanka positions itself as a key logistics and high-value manufacturing hub along the Indian Ocean shipping lanes, its domestic industries are undergoing a massive transition. Guided by the Board of Investment (BOI) of Sri Lanka, sectors such as electronics assembly, high-precision injection tooling, smart packaging, and automotive harness manufacturing are shifting towards high-complexity components requiring precision-grade raw materials.
Among these advanced materials, Beryllium Copper (CuBe) stands out as a critical alloy. Combining tensile strengths comparable to high-alloy steels with exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, it is the bedrock of modern micro-switches, sensor elements, non-sparking safety tools, and injection mold cores. For Sri Lankan manufacturing entities, securing a reliable, direct import line for high-performance copper alloys from expert producers like Sichuan Kepai New Material Co., Ltd. is essential for sustaining cost advantages and strict technical standards.
By supplying direct from our specialized facility, we eliminate intermediary markups, ensure chemical homogeneity down to the micro-grain level, and provide robust supply stability for manufacturers situated in the Katunayake, Biyagama, and Hambantota Free Trade Zones.

| Alloy Class | UNS / EN Standard | Key Elements | Electrical Conductivity (IACS) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Primary Industrial Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C17200 (High Strength) | UNS C17200 / CuBe2 | Be: 1.8% - 2.0%, Co+Ni ≥ 0.2% | 15% - 25% | 1100 - 1350 | Heavy-duty springs, plastic injection mold inserts, non-sparking safety tools. |
| C17300 (Free Machining) | UNS C17300 / CuBe2Pb | Be: 1.8% - 2.0%, Pb: 0.2% - 0.6% | 15% - 25% | 1100 - 1300 | Automated lathe machined parts, high-density coaxial connectors, circular switch terminals. |
| C17510 (High Conductivity) | UNS C17510 / CuNi2Be | Be: 0.2% - 0.6%, Ni: 1.4% - 2.2% | 45% - 60% | 680 - 950 | Resistance welding electrodes, power relays, telecom switches, thermal conductive grids. |
| C14500 (Tellurium Copper) | UNS C14500 / CuTe | Te: 0.4% - 0.7%, P: 0.004% - 0.012% | 90% - 98% | 250 - 380 | Plasma cutting torches, high-current connector pins, electric vehicle charging contacts. |
The unique properties of Beryllium Copper alloys stem from precipitation hardening (age hardening). After solution heat treatment, aging at temperatures between 315°C and 345°C causes beryllium-rich phases to precipitate uniformly within the copper matrix, creating pin lattice structures that increase the material’s yields and hardness dramatically while retaining high conductivity levels.
Solid Beryllium Copper components pose no health hazards. However, during machining, grinding, or welding processes that generate fine dust or fumes, proper localized exhaust ventilation (LEV) must be deployed. Sri Lankan factories can operate in complete safety by adopting wet-machining practices to completely suppress particulate airborne suspension.
