Beryllium (Be) Micron Powder (99.5+%, -100 mesh)

Description

Beryllium (Be) Micron Powder (99.5+%, -100 mesh)

Beryllium (Be) Micron Powder with 99.5+% purity and -100 mesh particle size is a lightweight, high-strength metallic powder known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Despite being one of the lightest structural metals, it possesses outstanding rigidity, thermal conductivity, oxidation resistance, and a remarkably high melting point among light metals.

Beryllium is widely used in aerospace, defense, nuclear, telecommunications, and advanced electronics, where weight reduction and superior performance are critical. It is also a key alloying element, significantly enhancing the mechanical properties of aluminum, copper, iron, and nickel alloys.

⚠️ Note: Beryllium is highly toxic and must be handled with extreme care under controlled safety procedures.
