AMPCOLOY® 944 Forgings – Superior Thermal Conductivity & Strength, Safe Alternative to Beryllium Copper

AMPCOLOY® 944 has been developed by AMPCO METAL to obtain an alloy with ultimate thermal conductivity, good tensile strength and very good hardness, in order to provide an alternative to beryllium copper, where stricter health and safety instructions on the use of noxious elements are required.
