CNC EDM Drilling Beryllium Copper

VT machining provides CNC EDM Drilling Beryllium Copper for customers who need accurate, repeatable Beryllium Copper components. Because Beryllium Copper is high strength with good conductivity and fatigue life, we adapt the process to suit — controlling the variables that matter for this alloy.

• Ø0.2–3 mm holes
• Deep aspect ratios
• Hardened-metal drilling
• Angled hole capability

How CNC EDM Drilling Beryllium Copper Works

Material is removed from the Beryllium Copper workpiece by controlled electrical discharges across a dielectric gap, with no mechanical contact. Flushing, on/off pulse timing and electrode/wire feed are set to balance speed against surface finish.

Programming is driven directly by your 3D model or print. Work-holding, tool selection and the cutting strategy are planned around the critical features and the material before the first chip is cut. First-off inspection confirms the process is centred before production continues.

CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish

EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the Beryllium Copper part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.

Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.

CNC EDM Drilling Quality & Inspection

We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every Beryllium Copper part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

Finished Beryllium Copper parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.

Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling Beryllium Copper

We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened Beryllium Copper that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

Working with Beryllium Copper

As a material, Beryllium Copper is high strength with good conductivity and fatigue life. Our setup reflects the alloy's machinability so the finished part is accurate and free of avoidable defects.

We verify the exact grade and condition before machining, and traceable mill certs are available on request. We can work to your nominated material source or specification when required.

Applications of CNC EDM Drilling Beryllium Copper

Customers order CNC EDM Drilling Beryllium Copper components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
