Because of its unmatched combination of qualities, beryllium has become an important material for a wide range of commercial and governmental applications. Beryllium brings unrivalled benefits to society and is the material of choice in critical application where failure is not an option.

​

80% of the beryllium used goes into copper beryllium alloys, that are used to exploit an unmatched combination of physical properties to produce highly reliable components of systems that protect lives and where failure could be either life-threatening or would provide lower performance and reduced quality of life.
