  • Beryllium: A Rising Star on the High-tech Stage

    An important application direction of metal beryllium is alloy manufacturing. We know that bronze is much softer than steel, less elastic and less resistant to corrosion. However, when a little beryllium was added to bronze, its properties changed dramatically. People generally call the bronze co...

  • Processing of Beryllium

    Beryllium bronze is a typical aging precipitation strengthened alloy. The typical heat treatment process of high-strength beryllium bronze is to keep the temperature at 760 ~ 830 ℃ for an appropriate time (at least 60 minutes per 25mm thick plate), so that the solute atomic beryllium is fully dis...

  • Introduction to the Element Beryllium

    Beryllium, atomic number 4, atomic weight 9.012182, is the lightest alkaline earth metal element. It was discovered in 1798 by the French chemist Walkerland during chemical analysis of beryl and emeralds. In 1828, the German chemist Weiler and the French chemist Bixi reduced molten beryllium chlo...
