Beryllium is a very light, hard, steel-gray metal. It features high strength, stability at elevated temperatures and reflectivity. It offers outstanding thermal conductivity and is transparent to x-rays. Beryllium is non-magnetic, corrosion resistant at ambient temperatures and has a rigidity about 50% greater than steel.
Applications include:
- Structural components for aircraft, satellites and space vehicles
- RF transmitters
- Gyroscopes
- Medical and scientific x-ray equipment
- Computer parts
- Scanners
Master Bond formulates adhesive products designed to bond beryllium to beryllium and beryllium to dissimilar substrates.
