Technical Characteristics

Rare earth element/ of the second period of the D.I.Mendeleev system of chemical elements, atomic number 4, designated as Be/ It is a very light and hard metal. Its main application is alloying of alloys for structures operated under particularly difficult conditions. It is a hard and quite expensive metal. Its melting point is 1278 °C, it is toxic in powder form and a poor conductor of heat and electricity. It was discovered at the end of the eighteenth century by the French chemist Louis Vauclain.

The chemical symbol is Be
Specific gravity 1.848 g/cm3
Melting point 1278 °C
Boiling point 2970 °C
Atomic weight 9
Specific heat of fusion 12,21 kJ/mol
Oxidation state 2, 1

One of the best known beryllium alloys is randol, a copper-beryllium alloy. It has excellent mechanical properties and a high level of chemical resistance. The undoubted advantages of beryllium alloys are:

  • good machinability;
  • corrosion resistance;
  • high specific strength;

Application

The main applications are in nuclear power, laser and X-ray equipment, alloying alloys, mining, aerospace. It is indispensable in the manufacture of heat shields. Alloys based on it are both strong, lightweight and resistant to high temperatures. Beryllium oxide serves as a base for powerful explosives. Bronze alloy BrB2 (contains 2% Be) has high strength, elasticity and corrosion resistance. Copper-beryllium alloys are characterized by excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance, which makes them widely used in industry.
