Beryllium copper is a copper alloy with beryllium as the main alloying element, it is a supersaturated solid solution copper-based alloy, a good combination of mechanical properties, physical properties, chemical properties and corrosion resistance of non-ferrous alloys; after solid solution and aging, it has a high strength limit, elasticity limit, yield limit, and fatigue limit comparable to that of special steels, and at the same time, it has a high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, high hardness and wear resistance, high creep resistance and corrosion resistance. resistance and corrosion resistance.

So what determines the price of beryllium copper?
In China, according to the Shanghai Exchange beryllium spot market statistics, the price of 99% beryllium metal is between 5,500-6,000 yuan/kg (2020), which translates into US dollars between $374-408/£. The price of beryllium ore and beryllium metal has not increased much in the last three years. Looking at the price of beryllium metal alone, the price trend of beryllium metal in China in the last three years is basically the same as the price trend in the United States.
China's beryllium products are government resources, the United States believes that China's actual production is higher than the official announcement, according to statistics should be more than 60 tons / year. Comprehensive beryllium copper manufacturers of the above data, beryllium price and production is proportional to the relationship between the upward trend year by year, fluctuations are mainly affected by the U.S. government policy of China, China's beryllium production is not much, so the production of products are basically used for domestic demand, production and prices are almost all international influence.
The United States is a large producer of beryllium and a large consumer of beryllium. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the United States consumed 268 tons of beryllium products in 2015. The largest area of beryllium consumption is beryllium-copper alloys, with more than 80% of beryllium hydroxide used to produce beryllium-copper master alloys [4% beryllium content]. Driven by the requirement to reduce automobile emissions, new applications of beryllium copper alloys in the automotive electrical and electronic market are also being vigorously developed, and the automotive industry will become a major field of beryllium copper alloys in the future. Price, beryllium copper manufacturers in the United States according to the total amount of imports and consumer prices (beryllium content of 4% ) conversion, 2005-2012, beryllium prices rose by an average of 10% per year, to the U.S. beryllium price of $ 209 / £ in 2012.
