FREE-MACHINING BERYLLIUM COPPER— BRUSH ALLOY M25
	A special lead-containing beryllium copper, Alloy M25, is used when the formation of small, discontinuous chips during machining is desirable. Alloy M25, available only in wire and small diameter rod, is used primarily on automated machines, running unattended. The mechanical and physical properties of Alloy M25 are the same as those of unleaded Alloy 25. Similarly, the machining parameters for high strength beryllium copper Alloy M25 are the same as the other alloys in that family. Tool configurations for Alloy M25 may vary, as indicated in the tables of this book.
