Laboratory characterization and extensive field service show the advantages of beryllium copper Brush Alloy 25 for use in nonmagnetic drill collars (NMDC)'s, stabilizers, and subs. Beryllium copper is resistant to stress-corrosion-cracking (SCC) failures at elevated temperatures and pressures in the presence of H/sub 2/S and dissolved chloride solutions. The alloy is more resistant than stainless steel to galling failure in threaded joints. Its magnetic permeability is lower than stainless steel and is unaffected by service conditions.
