Yibin Hongxing Electronics Co., Ltd. (formerly state-owned 799 Factory)
The company is the earliest professional manufacturer in China to develop and produce beryllium oxide ceramics, with a production history of more than 40 years; it is the only military-use ceramics manufacturer in the country. A designated manufacturer of beryllium oxide ceramics. The production capacity and technical level of beryllium oxide ceramics and its metallized series products are in a leading position in the country. In recent years, the basic production technology of beryllium oxide ceramics has been introduced from the United States. Through cooperation with the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China By solving key problems and localizing them through digestion and absorption, a set of beryllium oxide ceramic production technology with independent innovation and independent intellectual property rights has been formed. At present, this technology has been used in the development of many national "high-tech engineering" supporting projects. Some performance indicators of beryllium oxide ceramic products produced are close to American standards, and some indicators have exceeded American standards.
Shanghai Feixing Electronics
Shanghai Feixing Special Ceramics Factory is located at No. 820 Gande Road, Litahui, Songjiang District, Shanghai. It has been specializing in the production of beryllium oxide ceramics for 20 years. With many years of practical experience in scientific research and production, we have accumulated certain achievements in theory and technological progress, and have trained quite skilled operators, especially for the fine processing of beryllium oxide ceramics. They have unique professional skills and meet the needs of aerospace, radar, and missiles. , traveling wave tubes, launch tubes and products used in high-tech fields. The development of beryllium oxide ceramics abroad began in the 1930s, but its rapid development stage was from the late 1950s to the late 1970s.
The United States is the country with the largest output of beryllium oxide ceramics, the highest production technology, and the best product performance in the world.
Brubb Wellman Company is one of the largest beryllium oxide powder and ceramic product manufacturing companies in the United States and even the world. The company was founded in 1930 and currently has more than 1,000 employees and annual sales of US$85 million. It mainly produces pure beryllium metal, beryllium aluminum alloy, beryllium copper alloy, high-quality BeO ceramic powder, various 99.5% BeO ceramic products, and BeO ceramic packaging shells. Its products are widely used in lasers for cosmetic skin surgery, cataract removal, kidney stone fragmentation and painless surgery, as well as military and defense systems. The company has offices in Japan and other countries and regions.
American Beryllium Oxide Co., Ltd. was founded in 1956 and is a pioneer in the research and development of high-purity beryllium oxide ceramics. In the early 1960s, standard and universal shapes of BeO ceramic products and dry pressing, extrusion and sintering process technologies were developed to meet the requirements of various applications. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the company was equipped with precision grinding equipment, and also equipped and adopted equipment and technologies such as drilling, metallization, polishing, and slicing.
Now, the newly renamed American Beryllium Oxide Company is located in New Jersey, with a production plant of more than 35,000 square feet. The company currently has more than 200 employees and sales of approximately US$11 million.
The British Goodfellow Group is engaged in the production and sales of beryllium oxide ceramic products. It consists of the following companies:
1) Goodfellow Cambridge Limited
p>The company was founded in 1946, with more than 500 employees and annual sales of approximately US$30 million.
2) Goodfellow GmbH
The company was founded in Germany in 1989. It has more than 200 employees and annual sales of US$20 million. Its scale products are mainly targeted at Europe. Users from various countries.
3) Goodfellow SARL (Saar) Company
This company was established in France in 1993 and mainly sells and produces BeO ceramics and related products.
Goodfellow has offices in India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain and Taipei.
Kazakhstan, Ursky Metal Smelting Plant (Y M 3). This plant is affiliated to Kazakhstan State Atomic Energy Co., Ltd. and mainly produces BeO powder, Be metal powder, copper-beryllium alloy, aluminum- Beryllium alloy, nickel-beryllium alloy and other raw materials, the factory produces BeO discharge tubes for lasers, the length of which can reach 1.5 meters.
Beryllium oxide ceramics are different from other electronic ceramics. So far, its high thermal conductivity and low loss characteristics are difficult to be replaced by other materials. On the one hand, it is due to the large demand in many scientific and technological fields, and on the other hand, due to Beryllium oxide is toxic, and protective measures are very strict and difficult. As a result, there are only a few factories in the world that can produce it safely. Some developed industrial countries abroad (such as Japan) rely entirely on imports.
The United States is the country with the largest BeO ceramic output, the highest production technology, and the best product performance in the world, followed by the United Kingdom and Kazakhstan.
Because BeO ceramic materials play an irreplaceable role in the application of aviation, aerospace and military equipment, the demand for BeO is increasing year by year. The production of BeO in the United States in the late 1990s was 3 to 5 times that of the late 1980s. It is currently increasing at a rate of 8 to 12%, with its production reaching more than 200 tons. The U.S. Defense Electronics Supply Center proposed a plan to develop high-performance BeO ceramic materials to the industry a few years ago. And progress has been made. In the supply center's material list, beryllium oxide's status is gradually improving. In the next few years, beryllium oxide will be the material of choice for military high-power MCM (multi-chip components).
