Enhancing QBe2 Beryllium Bronze Chucks for New Energy Vehicles with Vacuum Heat Treatment

QBe2 Beryllium Bronze Chucks: High-Performance Components for New Energy Vehicles

In the rapidly growing new energy vehicle (NEV) industry, components require exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance. QBe2 beryllium bronze is widely used for chucks, fixtures, and connectors in electric motors and battery systems due to its high strength, wear resistance, and conductivity. Its ability to maintain dimensional stability under repeated loads and thermal stress makes it ideal for EV battery assembly, electric motors, and high-voltage contact systems. As NEV technology advances, QBe2 Beryllium Bronze ensures long-lasting reliability and performance in critical vehicle components.

Heat Treatment: The Key to Hardness and Performance

The exceptional properties of QBe2 Beryllium Bronze are fully realized through controlled heat treatment and shaping processes. As a precipitation-hardening alloy, QBe2 undergoes solution annealing, where it is heated to 780–820 °C to dissolve alloying elements into a solid solution, followed by rapid quenching. After shaping into the desired chuck geometry, it is then aged at 300–330 °C to allow the formation of fine precipitates, which maximize hardness, strength, and fatigue resistance. This two-step process ensures both excellent formability during shaping and superior mechanical performance in final components used in new energy vehicles.
