Defense & Science
Materion Corporation’s involvement in defense and science spans the materials needs of numerous dynamic technology markets ranging from optical substrates and electro-optical systems, avionics, wireless to nuclear test reactors, military communications, science and astronomy, lasers and semiconductors.
In each market that we serve, we provide our customers with unique advanced materials solutions that enable their technologies. For example, we offer 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 our thin film coatings and optical filters 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. The James Webb Space Telescope would likely not be possible without the development of O-30 beryllium.
At 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.
