Processing & Safety
- Machinability:
- The C17300 (Pb-added) alloy is unrivaled in CNC turning and milling tasks, delivering a superior surface finish with Ra < 1.6 μm.
- Both C17200 and C17500 alloys demand the precision of carbide tools for optimal cutting performance.
- Heat Treatment:
- For ultimate strength, employ solution annealing at 760-790°C followed by rapid cooling.
- Achieve peak hardness through aging at 315-345°C for 2-3 hours.
- Safety Compliance:
- Ensuring OSHA-compliant handling with Be dust control maintained below <0.2 μg/m³.
- Our C17300 alloy enjoys RoHS/REACH exemptions for Pb under EU Directive 2011/65/EU, confirming our dedication to safe and responsible manufacturing.
