Beryllium Copper

or
Copper Nickel Alloys
Even producers of beryllium copper
Alloys prototyping manufacturing have
been offering copper alloys
without beryllium due to competition
and continuing issues associated with
beryllium-containing alloys
and
injection mold making

Copper Alloy Usage

An informal survey of plastic injection mold
And plastic mold-manufacturer still shows a
large
percentage believing that copper alloy
usage in their molds is of little to
no benefit.

Industry Challenges
and
Strategies
.. Global Competition in
prototyping manufacturing
.. Supply Chain Loyalty in plastic
injection mold making
..Resistance to Change die casting
parts

The Copper Alloy

Solution
One example is there must be greater
importance placed on water flow rates
and controlling, such in molds when
using copper alloys. To maximize the
benefits of prototyping manufacturing copper
alloys the design
of water flow should be to maintain
turbulent flow versus laminar flow.
