VT machining specialises in CNC Lathe Machining C17200 Beryllium Copper. Because C17200 Beryllium Copper is high-strength, conductive and non-sparking, and its machinability is good; heat-treatable to high strength with good conductivity, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.

Published typical values for C17200 (TH04/AT). Other grades in the family differ — the certificate supplied with your order carries the actual heat-lot figures.
Machined in the solution-annealed state and age-hardened afterwards, which shrinks the part by roughly 0.1–0.2%. That shrink is compensated in the program.
Machining C17200 Beryllium Copper with CNC Lathe Machining
When turning C17200 Beryllium Copper, machinability is good; heat-treatable to high strength with good conductivity. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for C17200 Beryllium Copper mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Lathe Machining C17200 Beryllium Copper
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Outside diameter | ±0.05 mm | ±0.005 mm |
| Bore diameter | H9 | H6 |
| Length / shoulder position | ±0.10 mm | ±0.020 mm |

Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
Why C17200 Beryllium Copper?
Customers select C17200 Beryllium Copper for CNC Lathe Machining because it is high-strength, conductive and non-sparking. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Design Tips for CNC Lathe Machining C17200 Beryllium Copper
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help C17200 Beryllium Copper turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most C17200 Beryllium Copper parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Lathe Machining Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
CNC Lathe Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned C17200 Beryllium Copper holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
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.
Applications of CNC Lathe Machining C17200 Beryllium Copper

What We Need to Quote CNC Lathe Machining C17200 Beryllium Copper
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact C17200 Beryllium Copper grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.
