Materion Brush GmbH (Materion Corporation)

Profile

Our high-performance materials (high-strength copper-based alloys, aluminum matrix composites, refractory niobium and tantalum alloys, beryllium, beryllium nickel and beryllium oxide) are designed to meet the challenges associated with the extreme environments of our customers in the aerospace and defense industries. We work closely with our customers to continuously improve their technologies.

Details Information

Wide range of alloys, including

• Copper-based alloys: Copper-nickel-tin (ToughMet), CuNiSi (PerforMet), beryllium copper
• Nickel: NiBe2
• Niobium (C-103) and tantalum (ULTRA 76 Plus)
• Aluminum matrix composites: Al-Si (AyontEX), Al-SiC (SupremEX), Al-Be (AlBeCast/AlBeMet)
• Oxide ceramics: Al2O3, BeO
• Beryllium

Extensive vertical range of manufacture through to various semi-finished product formats

• Beryllium is extracted in our own mine
• Casting and powder metallurgy
• Extrusion, forging and rolling
• Cold drawing
• Heat treatment

This results in a wide range of product formats

• strip
• wire
• rod
• tube
• Forged parts

Technology / Research

We bring innovations to the market through our extensive research and development programs. With a team of experienced and qualified engineers, scientists and technicians, we are able to develop new alloy concepts, component designs and production processes. Examples include additive manufacturing, for which we have our own laboratory, as well as clad and electron beam welded materials. The technologies at Materion therefore include both classic process routes for the production of semi-finished products and powder metallurgy processes as well as joining techniques for the production of material composites. We also support our customers with our know-how and network in the further processing of materials.
