Beryllium Wire Description
Beryllium Wire (Be Wire) of high-quality is on sale at Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM). Beryllium wire is relatively transparent to X-rays and other forms of ionizing radiation; therefore, it is the most common window material for X-ray equipment and components of particle physics experiments. Beryllium wire has exceptional stiffness (Young's modulus 287 GPa) and a reasonably high melting point (1560K).
Beryllium Wires are made of metal beryllium. The modulus of elasticity of beryllium is approximately 50% greater than that of steel. Other significant properties are high specific heat and thermal conductivity, which make beryllium the metal with the best heat dissipation characteristics per unit weight.
Beryllium improves many physical properties when added as an alloying element to aluminum, copper, iron, and nickel. Tools made of beryllium copper alloys are strong and hard and do not create sparks when they strike a steel surface. In structural applications, the combination of high flexural rigidity, thermal stability, thermal conductivity, and low density make beryllium metal a desirable aerospace material for aircraft components, missiles, spacecraft, and satellites.
