Aluminum Beryllium (AlBe) - Ingot
Product Description
Beryllium aluminium alloy is an aluminium-containing beryllium-based alloy. Generally, the aluminum content is 25% to 43% (mass). Density 2.10g/cm3. There are two grades LX-62 and LX59-3. The tensile strength is 524-670MPa, the yield strength is 479-516MPa, and the elongation is 3.7%-4.3%. It is produced by powder metallurgy extrusion and rolling process. Used in missiles, rockets, ultra-high-speed structures, aircraft brakes and electronic computer disk drives.
Beryllium aluminum alloy contains about 2-6% beryllium. Beryllium aluminum alloy is an additive required for magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy smelting. Magnesium alloy usually needs 8-20ppm, and aluminum alloy needs 8-15ppm. Its functions are:
Improve the cleaning, fluidity and corrosion resistance of magnesium and aluminum;
Protect the oxidation and combustion of magnesium and aluminum, and reduce the oxidation loss of elements;
Improve the structure of the alloy, refine the grain and increase the strength.
Beryllium aluminum alloy containing about 60% beryllium is mainly used in aerospace and aviation frame materials.
