BRUSH BERYLLIUM & COMPOSITES - Materion

Brush Beryllium& Composites

SOLUTIONSDeliveredFPOMATERION is the new name for Brush Engineered Materials Inc. and all of its businesses,including what was known as Brush Wellman Inc.’s Beryllium Products unit. Now organizedunder the Materion brand, MATERION BRUSH BERYLLIUM & COMPOSITESis the only U.S. domestic producer and the premier global source for metallic berylliumand metal matrix composites. Our materials present designers with unique combinationsof properties for use in a wide range of high-performance applications.

THE WORLD LEADER IN BERYLLIUM-BASED METALSFor more than 80 years, Materion Brush Beryllium & Composites has played a key rolein the development of beryllium-based metals and composites. Beryllium’s remarkableproperties – including stiffness, high strength, low density, heat resistance and reflectivity –make it the material of choice for a wide range of demanding end-use applications. Berylliumprovides the superior stability required by precision optics on satellites, fighter jets andresearch telescopes. Beryllium materials provide the strength and light-weight propertiesdesigners of space structures require. Beryllium’s nuclear properties make it ideal for usein multiplying, moderating and reflecting neutrons in the design of scientific reactors.FULLY INTEGRATED FROM MINE TO MILLMaterion is the world’s only fully integrated developer and supplier of engineered berylliummaterials, from mining to mill products and value-added fabrication. We design and manufacturepure metallic beryllium and metal matrix composites (MMCs) at our flagship facilityin Elmore, Ohio, where we recently brought on line a new $94 million primary berylliumproduction facility. The project was jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Defense toprovide a secure, long-term source of beryllium products for strategic markets.COST-EFFECTIVE COMPOSITESFor applications that do not require the full complement of pure beryllium’s properties,MMCs can be a cost-effective alternative. We offer several MMC product lines. E-Materialsare high-performance MMCs with thermal, physical and mechanical properties ideallysuited for electronic packaging applications. AlBeMet ® is a composite of pure aluminumand beryllium which gives it the toughness, ductility and machinability of aluminum combinedwith the unique properties of beryllium. And we have expanded our materials technologybeyond beryllium. SupremEX is a new non-beryllium MMC that combines pure aluminumwith ultrafine reinforcements to increase the strength and stiffness of pure aluminum.Application development engineeringMaterion Brush Beryllium & Composites’ SPADE (Special Products and ApplicationsDevelopment Engineering) group can quickly react to customer demands and providetotal product solutions from start to finish. Our engineers are happy to help withapplication design and development, concurrent engineering and fabrication support.Responsible StewardshipAt Materion Brush Beryllium & Composites, it is our policy to design, manufacture and distributeproducts and to manage, recycle and dispose of materials in a safe, environmentallyresponsible manner. The health and welfare of people and the environment are our highestpriority, and we are proud of our world-class safety and environmental efforts.BERYLLIUM’SREMARKABLEPROPERTIESAmong beryllium’s many outstandingproperties, it is one of the lowestdensity metals, has a very high meltingpoint and maintains useful mechanicalproperties at higher temperatureswhen compared to alternative materials.50Percent STIFFERTHAN STEELBeryllium metal has a resistanceto deformation almost 50%greater than that of steel withonly about one-fourth the weight.3TIMES STIFFER THANALUMINUMAluminum-beryllium containing62% beryllium has resistance todeformation almost three timesthat of aluminum and weighsapproximately 25% less.1.85TIMES THE DENSITYOF WATERBeryllium has a very low density,along with one of the highestmelting points of light metalsand exceptional flexural rigidity.216VALUE FOR THERMALCONDUCTIVITYHigh values for specific heat(1925 J/kg/K) and thermalconductivity (216 W/mK)make beryllium the metalwith the best heat dissipationcharacteristics per unit weight.Markets Servedn Opticsn Nuclearn Avionics / Electronics Packagingn Space Structuresn CommercialKEY PRODUCTSn Berylliumn AlBeMet ®n E-Materialsn Ultra-high Pure Berylliumn SupremEXSERVICES & Technologiesn Near Net Shape Technology (NNS)n Hot (HIP) & Cold (CIP) Isostatic Pressingn Vacuum Hot Pressing (VHP)n Hot Roll / Extrude / Investment Castingn Container-less Zone Refiningn Electron Beam Welding (AlBeWeld)Brush Beryllium & Compositesn Beryllium & BeO Powder and Chemicals
