AlBeMet 162 Aluminum-Beryllium Composite

AlBeMet 162 requirements for U.S. projects

AlBeMet 162 is a proprietary aluminum-beryllium metal-matrix composite developed for structures requiring low density, high specific stiffness, dimensional stability and useful thermal conductivity. It is associated with aerospace electronics, optical structures and satellite or precision assemblies. AlBeMet is a Materion trademark; the governing producer or customer specification controls acceptance.

Supply scope

Evek LLC reviews requirements for customer-specified AlBeMet 162 billet, bar, forging stock, near-net shape or machined component where available. Supply can depend on specification, export or end-use controls, qualification, processing route, dimensions, quantity and documentation. No property value should be treated as guaranteed without the applicable material specification and certificate.

Information required for a quote

Send AlBeMet 162 or AM162-H as applicable, governing specification and revision, required form, drawing, dimensions, tolerances, quantity, heat treatment, machining condition, inspection, traceability, certification, end use and U.S. delivery ZIP code.

Safe processing

The material contains beryllium. Cutting, grinding, machining or other operations that can create airborne dust or fume require qualified industrial controls, current safety data, exposure assessment and compliance with applicable workplace rules. Identify whether material or a finished machined part is required.
