BE0941 Beryllium Plate, Be Sheet

Beryllium Plate Description

Beryllium (Be) is a brittle, steel-gray alkaline earth metal. Beryllium is strong, lightweight, and has a modulus of elasticity 50% greater than steel. It has non-magnetic properties and has higher specific heat than any metal. Beryllium retains excellent properties at elevated and cryogenic temperatures, making this fascinating metal an ideal thermal conductor. Because of its low density and high thermal conductivity, beryllium has many applications in the aerospace and military industries. Beryllium is also transparent to X-rays and other forms of ionizing radiation, making it a great material for X-ray windows. It is frequently used as a material in acoustic applications for its damping properties and high stiffness-to-weight ratio.

The beryllium plate and beryllium sheet are made of metal beryllium. As a leading supplier of beryllium products across the world, Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) enjoys over two decades of experience in the manufacture and sale of beryllium plate and beryllium sheet, offering customers high-quality beryllium plates and beryllium sheets at very competitive prices.
