Description

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.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by AMPCO METAL.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
