Brush Wellman PROtherm® Beryllium Copper Alloy

Subcategory: Copper Alloy; Nonferrous Metal; Beryllium Alloy

Material Notes:
Description: moldMAX® and PROtherm® are Brush Wellman's copper beryllium alloys specifically designed for the plastic processing industry. These alloys provide a unique combination of thermal conductivity and strength, which allow for :

• Shorter cycle times and reduced part costs
• Improved part quality leading to a substantially lower scrap rate
• 3 times faster machining rates resulting in lower cost molds and shorter delivery times
• Processing that is similar to tool steels with no substantial processing changes required
• One million + cycles leading to lower maintenance costs
• A reduction in cost for Moldmakers
• Reduced cost and high part quality at a lower piece price for Molders

PROtherm® provides the highest thermal conductivity available in a mold material… ten times greater than steel and twice that of aluminum. PROtherm® also offers a hardness and strength that exceeds aluminum. PROtherm® is specifically designed for foam processing; core caps, hot runner systems and other applications where maximum heat removal or control are required.
