· JVASP-68236· BeCuRh2

BeCuRh2 is a beryllium-copper-rhodium ternary alloy that combines the lightweight and stiffness characteristics of beryllium with the workability and electrical properties of copper, enhanced by rhodium additions for strength and corrosion resistance. This material occupies a specialized niche in aerospace and precision electronics applications where extreme stiffness-to-weight ratios, thermal stability, and electrical conductivity are simultaneously required. The rhodium component provides enhanced oxidation resistance and mechanical performance at elevated temperatures compared to binary beryllium-copper alloys, making it valuable where both structural efficiency and functional electrical properties are critical design drivers.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
