Beryllium oxide ceramic has a high melting point, very good thermal shock resistance and electrical insulation properties, its thermal conductivity is similar to copper and silver. At room temperature, the thermal conductivity is about twenty times that of alumina ceramics. Due to the ideal thermal conductivity of beryllium oxide ceramic, it is conducive to improving the service life and quality of devices, facilitating the development of devices to miniaturization and increase the power of devices, therefore, it can be widely used in aerospace, nuclear power, metallurgical engineering, electronic industry, rocket manufacturing, etc.
Applications
Nuclear technology
Beryllium oxide ceramic has a high neutron scattering cross-section, which can reflect the neutrons leaked from nuclear reactors back into the reactor. Therefore, it is widely used as a reducer and radiation protection material in atomic reactors.
High-power electronic devices and integrated circuits
Beryllium oxide ceramic has been used in high-performance, high-power microwave packages. In communications, it is also widely used in satellite cell phones, personal communication services, satellite reception, the transmission of avionics, and global positioning systems.
Special Metallurgy
Beryllium oxide ceramic is a refractory material. Beryllium oxide ceramic crucibles are used to melt rare and precious metals.
Avionics
Beryllium oxide ceramic is widely used in avionics conversion circuits and aircraft satellite communication systems.
