AlBeMet® Technical Report
-
Aluminum-beryllium alloys combine the high modulus and low-density characteristics of beryllium with the fabrication and mechanical property behavior of aluminum. Aluminum beryllium alloys offer excellent specific stiffness and processing characteristics. This makes it more suitable for cost sensitive markets such as semi-conductor assembly and inspection equipment, avionics, and satellite electronics.
