AMS 4533 Beryllium Copper
ASTM B196, AMS 4533, RWMA CLASS IV
Beryllium copper is the most widely used type of copper and is distinguished by having the highest strength and hardness when compared to commercial copper alloys. It is comparable to steel in terms of hardness and strength. At their maximal age, the AMS4533 ultimate tensile and Rockwell hardness parameters are 200 ksi and RC 45, accordingly (electrical conduction 22% IACS minimal).
