Injection Molding Applications
Beryllium copper
plate and rod wrought products are utilized in the plastics processing
industry for plastic injection molds, blow molds, cavity inserts, and
associated production components such as manifolds and nozzles. The
material is specified in these applications due to it combination of
high strength and hardness coupled with excellent thermal conductivity
(as compared to tool steel and aluminum). The material performance properties
of beryllium copper provide the tangible benefits of improved cycle
time and piece part quality with the assurance of ongoing superior wear
and durability characteristics.
