A PIONEER IN BERYLLIUM PRESSING TECHNOLOGY

Materion has pioneered methods used to make high quality beryllium powder and subsequent consolidation, which include:

  • Cold Isostatic Pressing – used for parts with more complex geometry, CIP preforms blanks close to net shape directly from beryllium powders and produces the desired blank shape with excellent definition of detail.
  • Hot Isostatic Pressing – used for parts having simple shapes, HIP consolidates beryllium powders in sealed, vacuum-degassed containers to nearly 100% density, resulting in a blank that is the same shape as the container.
  • Vacuum Hot Pressing – the most commonly used beryllium pressing technique, VHP results in a uniform, fully-dense fine-grained beryllium; through VHP, it is possible to produce a variety of beryllium grades with differing characteristics for many divergent applications.
