Abstract:
The paper mainly focus on review to the up-to-date progress of metallic beryllium applications in nuclear reactors, inertial navigation system, optics, thermotics, structure parts, high-energy physics and typical commercial use in the recent 20 years, as well as give briefly introduction that excellent performances of metallic beryllium play an important role in promoting technology development of its application field and improving product performance and quality. Base on the range and effect of metallic beryllium application, the paper details that metallic beryllium as key strategic engineering material has given strong support to national defense, aerospace and strategic nuclear energy development. Moreover, the paper give briefly introduction status of metallic beryllium applications in China, and points out that China should greatly improve the level of beryllium application in inertial navigation system and the infrared optical system, so as to enhance China’s space fighting and confrontations ability. Finally, the paper summarizes pattern of metallic beryllium market. It can be expected that metallic beryllium market is still in defense, aerospace and strategic nuclear, and metallic beryllium will consistently play an important role in civil industry in future.
