View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.BRUSHFORM 290 is a specially processed, mill-hardened beryllium copper alloy having improved formability while maintaining the strength of other mill-hardened copper beryllium alloys. It was developed for current carrying springs requiring greater formability. It can be used in a number of applications formerly limited to heat treatable tempers.
