Misleading Tensile Strength Claims
In some cases, copper-titanium non-sparking tools do not achieve the tensile strength values stated in marketing literature. While manufacturers may advertise tensile strengths in the range of 1000–1250 N/mm², independent testing has shown that tools produced with poor alloy control or improper heat treatment can exhibit significantly lower strength levels. This gap between published specifications and actual performance can lead to procurement decisions based on inaccurate data, resulting in tools that fail to meet operational expectations. In contrast, beryllium copper tools are generally consistent with their advertised tensile strength ratings, reflecting better material integrity and manufacturing control.
