Processing & Safety
- Machinability:
- C17300 (Pb-added) shines in CNC turning/milling, delivering a pristine surface finish (Ra < 1.6 μm).
- For precision cutting, C17200/C17500 require the robustness of carbide tools.
- Heat Treatment:
- Undergo 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:
- Ensure safe handling with OSHA-compliant measures, maintaining Be dust control below 0.2 μg/m³.
- Benefit from RoHS/REACH exemptions for Pb in C17300, aligned with EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
