4. Uses

Beryllium and beryllium-based materials offer a remarkable range of properties that can be used both in cutting-edge technologies and in the manufacture of everyday products [3][33][38] .

4.1 Beryllium metal

Certain uses are linked to mechanical properties. Specific modulus (Young's modulus divided by density), which characterizes beryllium's rigidity, and hardness (six times greater than that of steel) form a set of properties that are very important for the aerospace industry, which requires lightweight structures that remain rigid under high loads. These properties are particularly appreciated...
