AMPCOLOY ® 83 is a 2 % Beryllium copper alloy which displays very high mechanical proper ties with a reasonably good electrical and thermal conductivity.

APPLICATIONS:
Wherever good wear resistance or high mechanical propertie s are desired coupled with a good electrical or thermal conductivity, such as:

• Flash butt welding and butt welding

• Parts for electrical components

In the plastic mould industry AMPCOLOY ® 83 is sometimes used as chill plates and inserts in the moulds, cooling pins and neck rings or bottom plates for blow moulds of plastic bottles.

WARNING
Since the alloy contains 2 % Beryllium, it is recommended t hat during any operation which is liable to create dust or fumes (for example dry grinding, polishing or welding) pr ecautions should be taken to ensure there is no inhalation or exposure to eyes or skin. Conventional machining (f or example milling and turning) is not generally considered hazardous.
