How do you make beryllium copper alloy?

To make beryllium copper alloy, beryllium is melted into copper, usually with a copper beryllium master alloy that contains a controlled amount of beryllium. The mixture is then cast into the desired shape and cooled to solidify, resulting in the beryllium copper alloy.


How much of an alloy that is 40 percent copper should be mixed with 400 ounces of an alloy that is 70 percent copper in order to get an alloy that is 50 percent copper?

200 ounces.


How much of an alloy that is 40 copper should be mixed with 500 ounces of an alloy that is 70 copper in order to get an alloy that is 50 copper?

Let ( x ) be the amount of the 40% copper alloy needed. The equation based on the copper content is: [ 0.40x + 0.70(500) = 0.50(x + 500) ] Solving this equation, we find: [ 0.40x + 350 = 0.50x + 250 ] [ 100 = 0.10x ] [ x = 1000 ] Thus, you need to mix 1000 ounces of the 40% copper alloy with 500 ounces of the 70% copper alloy to obtain an alloy that is 50% copper.
