| This is a powder metallurgical product produced by gas atomization available as rod, bar, tube and sheet. These shapes are derived by consolidating the Al/Be powder by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and cold isostatic pressing (CIP) followed by extrusion or sheet rolling processes. The material is also available as an investment casting under the name AlBeCast™. Used for heat sinks and structural parts in aircraft and satellite avionics because of its low density, high modulus, high thermal conductivity, low CTE, thermal stability and isotropic properties. Please note that there are health hazards associated with beryllium, especially when present as airborne particles generated during processing. As with any material, be aware of hazards and take steps to reduce exposure to a safe level. Information provided by Brush Wellman. Brush Engineered Materials Inc. changed its name to Materion Corporation in March 2011. |
