Description

Materion Performance Alloys’ nickel beryllium strip Alloy 360 (UNS number N03360) combines unique mechanical and physical properties.


Properties of nickel beryllium Alloy 360 strip that a designer can use include ultimate tensile strength approaching 300,000 psi (2000 MPa), yield strength up to 245,000 psi (1690 MPa), excellent formability, stress relaxation less than 5% at 400º F (200°C), and fatigue strength (in reverse bending) of 85,000-90,000 psi (586-655 MPa) at 10 million cycles. It has corrosion resistance surpassing stainless steel. Typically, this alloy is used for mechanical and electrical / electronic components that are subjected to elevated temperatures (up to 700º F / 370°C for short times), and require good spring characteristics at these temperatures.

This material data has been provided by Materion Brush GmbH.

"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.
