Processing & Safety
- Machinability:
- C17300 (Pb-added) is exceptionally suited for CNC turning and milling, achieving a surface finish of Ra < 1.6 μm for unparalleled precision.
- For precision cutting, C17200 and C17500 require the use of advanced carbide tools.
- Heat Treatment:
- Our solution annealing process involves temperatures of 760-790°C followed by rapid cooling for optimal results.
- Aging is precisely controlled at 315-345°C over 2-3 hours, achieving peak hardness and durability.
- Safety Compliance:
- Our handling procedures are OSHA-compliant, ensuring Be dust control remains below 0.2 μg/m³ for a safe working environment.
- Our products receive RoHS/REACH exemptions for Pb in C17300 (in accordance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU), underlining our commitment to environmental compliance.
