Summary |
For the working places where have the risk of burningexplosion, non-sparking tools are important safety tools. They are made of hardest Cu-Be alloys. However, Be is very expensivepoisonous. To overcome this, we develop Be-free copper alloys which have high hardness for tools. In Taiwan, we have steel-tools industry. To have higher profit, it is promising to produce such Be-free non-sparking tools.

Scientific Breakthrough |
Beryllium copper is unique in their highest strengthhardness. The alloy has been used as non-sparking tools for a long time. Although beryllium is poisonexpensive, no suitable Cu alloys were developed for replacing them. Now, we have used the high-entropy alloy concept to develop beryllium-free medium entropy alloys which are cheap, hardno sparking. We have got the patent from Taiwan.

Industrial Applicability |
For the working places where have the risk of burningexplosion, such as mining tunnels, oilgas tanks, powder productionexplosive production, non-sparking tools are important safety tools. In Taiwan, we have steel-tools industry. To have higher profit, it is promising to produce such Be-free non-sparking tools.
