This report focuses on the study of the global beryllium markets. It provides region analysis on beryllium production. It features major beryllium producers, prices, supply and demand conditions, international trade, etc. The review also includes future outlook of the world beryllium market.
Beryllium is a very light, strong metal with a high melting point of 1,280°C, which is resis-tant to acids and has a high thermal conductivity. These properties make it useful in a num-ber of applications as a metal, as part of an alloy or as a ceramic. High processing costs generally restrict its use to applications where there are no practical alternatives, or where performance is critical.
