Other Materion businesses support the defense and science markets with high-performance materials that enable technologies. Materion Brush Beryllium & Composites. for example, offers offers beryllium and beryllium-based metal matrix composites such as (AlBeMet® and E-Materials) and our non-beryllium metal matrix composites (SupremEX®) to our nuclear test reactor, optics and avionics customers, while thin film coatings and optical filters from Materion Barr Precision Optics & Thin Film Coatings assist our space and precision optics customers. A complete line of thin film coating materials is also available. These materials are suitable for evaporative as well as sputter coated optical thin films.
Materion Brush Beryllium & Composites, along with the U.S. Air Force, started developing optical grade beryllium over twenty years ago. NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope would likely not be possible without the development of O-30 beryllium.
Across Materion Corporation, our materials help improve the performance of our customers’ end-use products within the defense and science market. We are a major provider of high performance infrared coatings and optics for military night vision equipment, targeting components, laser protection and threat detection systems. Our precision thin film coatings and optical filters are used in space, science and astronomy applications. Additionally, our beryllium ceramics help meet the demand for higher-powered, smaller and faster, stronger and more reliable wireless products.
