Beryllium for X-Ray applications

 

If you need it precise with exacting tolerances, come to us.  Have a challenging project?  Good we welcome it.  Our engineering department speaks your language.  We are your source for discs, straight cut (rectangular), tight tolerance machining.  We offer a variety of surface finishes, corrosion-resistant coatings and chemical milling and etching.

 

Beryllium's Advantages :

Lowest Stiffness/ Weight Ratio of Any Metal
Very Low Specific Heat at Cryogenic Temperatures
High Thermal Conductivity
Very Low Neutron Capture Cross Section
Very High Sound Velocity
Very High Modulus of Elasticity
Very High Specific Heat at Normal and Elevated Temperatures
Very Low Specific Gravity
Low Electrical Resistivity
High Melting Point
