Beryllium is used at the Joint European Torus nuclear-fusion research laboratory, and it will be used in the more advanced ITER to condition the components which face the plasma. [117] Beryllium has been proposed as a cladding material for nuclear fuel rods , because of its good combination of mechanical, chemical, and nuclear properties. [ 18 ]
Beryllium copper (BeCu), also known as copper beryllium (CuBe), beryllium bronze, and spring copper, is a copper alloy with 0.5–3% beryllium. [1] Copper beryllium alloys are often used because of their high strength and good conductivity of both heat and electricity. [2] It is used for its ductility, weldability in metalworking, and machining ...
Beryllium oxide (BeO), also known as beryllia, is an inorganic compound with the formula BeO. This colourless solid is an electrical insulator with a higher thermal conductivity than any other non-metal except diamond, and exceeds that of most metals. [12]
Beryllium is used mainly in military applications, [66] but non-military uses exist. In electronics, beryllium is used as a p-type dopant in some semiconductors, [67] and beryllium oxide is used as a high-strength electrical insulator and heat conductor. [68] Beryllium alloys are used for mechanical parts when stiffness, light weight, and ...
The primary end-uses of minor metals can also help to categorize the metals into four groups: [5] Electronic metals (e.g. gallium and germanium) Power metals (e.g. molybdenum and zirconium) Structural metals (e.g. chromium and vanadium) Performance metals (e.g. titanium and rhenium)
Beryllium-aluminum alloy an alloy that consists of 62% beryllium and 38% aluminum, by weight, corresponding approximately to an empirical formula of Be 2 Al. It was first developed in the 1960s by the Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, who called it Lockalloy, [1] [2] and used as a structural metal in the aerospace industry because of its high specific strength [3] and stiffness.
