Beryllium and Beryllium-based Alloys

Beryllium is a hard, grayish metal that occurs naturally in over 100 different minerals most important of which are bertrandite, beryl, chrysoberyl, and phenacite. Beryllium is one of the lightest of all metals and has one of the highest melting points of any light metal. Although it is readily attacked by alkalis and nonoxidizing acids, beryllium rapidly forms an adherent oxide surface film that protects the metal from further air oxidation under normal conditions.

Alfa Chemistry provides high-quality beryllium and beryllium-based alloys at a competitive price. We can also customize various shapes of beryllium products according to your requirements or drawings.

Pure Beryllium Products

Beryllium is used principally in aerospace and defense applications because of its stiffness, light weight, and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range.

Pure beryllium products we can supply are listed below.

Beryllium-based Alloys

Mixing beryllium with other metals increases their electrical and thermal conductivity. And beryllium-based alloys can be used to make gyroscopes, springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes and non-sparking tools.

Beryllium-based alloys we can provide include beryllium-copper (Be-Cu) alloys and beryllium-nickel-copper (Be-Ni-Cu) alloys.
