Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	Accounting Policies (Dollars in thousands) Basis of Presentation: In management’s opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Materion Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) contain all of the adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported. All adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 consolidated financial statement presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. New Pronouncements Adopted: In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires companies to present debt issuance costs associated with a debt liability as a deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability on the balance sheet rather than being capitalized as an asset. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016 and applied the new guidance on a retrospective basis which resulted in a decrease to Intangible assets, Short-term debt, and Long-term debt, at December 31, 2015, of $347 , $8 , and $339 , respectively. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. New Pronouncements Issued: In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which impacts several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the new standard, income tax benefits and deficiencies are to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awards will be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity will also recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the reporting period. Excess tax benefits will be classified, along with other income tax cash flows, as an operating activity. In regards to forfeitures, the entity may make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. The ASU, which is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, will be effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which eliminates the off-balance-sheet accounting for leases. The new guidance will require lessees to report their operating leases as both an asset and liability on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU, which is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, will be effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which supersedes previous revenue recognition guidance. The new standard requires that a company recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Companies will need to use more judgment and estimates than under the guidance currently in effect, including estimating the amount of variable revenue to recognize over each identified performance obligation. Additional disclosures will be required to help users of financial statements understand the nature, amount, and timing of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts. This ASU is effective beginning in fiscal year 2018 with a provision for early adoption in 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. No other recently issued or effective ASUs had, or are expected to have, a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 , an effective tax rate of 24.6% against income before income taxes, and income tax expense of $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 , with an effective tax rate of 28.6% against income before income taxes. The difference between the statutory and effective rates in the first quarter of both years was primarily due to the impact of percentage depletion, the foreign rate differential, and other items. The research and development credit also had a favorable effect on the Company's first quarter 2016 effective tax rate.

The equipment was placed in service during 2012, and its full cost is being depreciated in accordance with Company policy. The unearned income liability is being reduced ratably with the depreciation expense recorded over the life of the equipment. In the three months ended April 1, 2016 , the depreciation expense reimbursed for this equipment was $1.1 million . Unearned income was reduced by $1.1 million , accordingly, with the offset recorded as a credit to cost of sales.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation Expense	Stock-based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense, which includes awards settled in shares and in cash, was $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 . The Company granted 221,065 stock appreciation rights (SARs) to certain employees during the first quarter of 2016 . The weighted average exercise price per share and weighted average fair value per share of the SARs granted during the three months ended April 1, 2016 were $25.19 and $8.07 , respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the SARs using the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model: Risk-free interest rate 1.25 % Dividend yield 1.4 % Volatility 38.0 % Expected term (in years) 5.7 The Company granted 42,743 stock-settled restricted stock units (RSUs) and 24,780 cash-settled RSUs to certain employees during the first quarter of 2016 . The Company measures the fair value of grants of RSUs based on the closing market price of a share of Materion common stock on the date of the grant. The weighted average fair value per share was $25.19 for stock-settled RSUs granted during the three months ended April 1, 2016 . Cash-settled RSUs are accounted for as liability-based compensation awards and adjusted based on the closing price of Materion’s common stock over the vesting period of three years . The Company granted stock-settled and cash-settled performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) to certain employees in the first quarter of 2016 . The weighted-average fair value of the stock-settled PRSUs was $22.77 per share and will be expensed over the vesting period of three years . The liability for cash-settled PRSUs is remeasured at fair value each reporting period, and the expense is recorded accordingly. The final payout to the employees for all PRSUs will be based upon the Company’s return on invested capital and the total return to shareholders over the vesting period relative to a peer group’s performance over the same period. At April 1, 2016 , unearned compensation cost related to the unvested portion of all stock-based awards was approximately $7.3 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the respective grants.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures and records financial instruments at fair value. A fair value hierarchy is used for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions developed by the Company, which reflect those that a market participant would use. The following table summarizes the financial instruments measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 1, 2016 and December 31, 2015 : (Thousands) Total Carrying Value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) 2016 2015 2016 2015 2016 2015 2016 2015 Financial Assets Deferred compensation investments $ 1,739 $ 2,524 $ 1,739 $ 2,503 $ — $ 21 $ — $ — Foreign currency forward contracts — 462 — — — 462 — — Total $ 1,739 $ 2,986 $ 1,739 $ 2,503 $ — $ 483 $ — $ — Financial Liabilities Deferred compensation liability $ 1,739 $ 2,524 $ 1,739 $ 2,503 $ — $ 21 $ — $ — Foreign currency forward contracts 1,186 180 — — 1,186 180 — — Total $ 2,925 $ 2,704 $ 1,739 $ 2,503 $ 1,186 $ 201 $ — $ — The Company uses a market approach to value the assets and liabilities for financial instruments in the table above. Outstanding contracts are valued through models that utilize market observable inputs, including both spot and forward prices, for the same underlying currencies and metals. The carrying values of the other working capital items and debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate fair values as of April 1, 2016 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedg

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity The Company uses derivative contracts to hedge portions of its foreign currency exposures and may also use derivatives to hedge a portion of its precious metal exposures. The objectives and strategies for using derivatives in these areas are as follows: Foreign Currency. The Company sells a portion of its products to overseas customers in their local currencies, primarily the euro and yen. The Company secures foreign currency derivatives, mainly forward contracts and options, to hedge these anticipated sales transactions. The purpose of the hedge program is to protect against the reduction in the dollar value of foreign currency sales from adverse exchange rate movements. Should the dollar strengthen significantly, the decrease in the translated value of the foreign currency sales should be partially offset by gains on the hedge contracts. Depending upon the methods used, hedge contracts may limit the benefits from a weakening U.S. dollar. The use of forward contracts locks in a firm rate and eliminates any downside risk from an adverse rate movement as well as any benefit from a favorable rate movement. The Company may from time to time choose to hedge with options or a tandem of options known as a collar. These hedging techniques can limit or eliminate the downside risk but can allow for some or all of the benefit from a favorable rate movement to be realized. Unlike a forward contract, a premium is paid for an option; collars, which are a combination of a put and call option, may have a net premium but can be structured to be cash neutral. The Company will primarily hedge with forward contracts due to the relationship between the cash outlay and the level of risk. The use of foreign currency derivative contracts is governed by policies approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. A team consisting of senior financial managers reviews the estimated exposure levels, as defined by budgets, forecasts, and other internal data, and determines the timing, amounts, and instruments to use to hedge that exposure within the confines of the policy. Management analyzes the effective hedged rates and the actual and projected gains and losses on the hedging transactions against the program objectives, targeted rates, and levels of risk assumed. Hedge contracts are typically layered in at different times for a specified exposure period in order to minimize the impact of rate movements. Precious Metals. The Company maintains the majority of its precious metal production requirements on consignment in order to reduce its working capital investment and the exposure to metal price movements. When a precious metal product is fabricated and ready for shipment to the customer, the metal is purchased out of consignment at the current market price. The price paid by the Company forms the basis for the price charged to the customer. This methodology allows for changes in either direction in the market prices of the precious metals used by the Company to be passed through to the customer and reduces the impact changes in prices could have on the Company's margins and operating profit. The consigned metal is owned by financial institutions that charge the Company a financing fee based upon the current value of the metal on hand. In certain instances, a customer may want to establish the price for the precious metal at the time the sales order is placed rather than at the time of shipment. Setting the sales price at a different date than when the material would be purchased potentially creates an exposure to movements in the market price of the metal. Therefore, in these limited situations, the Company may elect to enter into a forward contract to purchase precious metal. The forward contract allows the Company to purchase metal at a fixed price on a specific future date. The price in the forward contract serves as the basis for the price to be charged to the customer. By doing so, the selling price and purchase price are matched, and the Company's price exposure is reduced. The Company refines precious metal containing materials for its customers and typically will purchase the refined metal from the customer at current market prices. In limited circumstances, the customer may want to fix the price to be paid at the time of the order as opposed to when the material is refined. The customer may also want to fix the price for a set period of time. The Company may then elect to enter into a hedge contract, either a forward contract or a swap, to fix the price for the estimated quantity of metal to be purchased, thereby reducing the exposure to adverse movements in the price of the metal. The Company may from time to time elect to purchase precious metal and hold in inventory rather than on consignment due to potential credit line limitations or other factors. These purchases are typically held for a short duration. A forward contract will be secured at the time of the purchase to fix the price to be used when the metal is transferred back to the consignment line, thereby limiting any price exposure during the time when the metal was owned. The Company will only enter into a derivative contract if there is an underlying identified exposure. Contracts are typically held until maturity. The Company does not engage in derivative trading activities and does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The Company only uses currency hedge contracts that are denominated in the same currency as the underlying exposure and precious metal hedge contracts denominated in the same metal as the underlying exposure. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated and effective as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s fair value, if any, is recognized in earnings immediately. If a derivative is not a hedge, changes in the fair value are adjusted through income. The fair values of the outstanding derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets (if the derivatives are in a gain position) or liabilities (if the derivatives are in a loss position). The fair values will also be classified as short term or long term depending upon their maturity dates. The outstanding foreign currency forward contracts had a notional value of $30.0 million and $38.9 million at April 1, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. All of these contracts were designated and effective as cash flow hedges. The net fair value of the outstanding contracts was $1.2 million , recorded in other liabilities and accrued items on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 1, 2016 . The net fair value of the outstanding contracts was $0.3 million , recorded in prepaid expenses and other liabilities and accrued items on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015. Refer to Note K for additional fair value details. No ineffective expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 or 2015. Changes in the fair value of outstanding cash flow hedges recorded in OCI for the first three months of 2016 and 2015 totaled a decrease of $1.5 million and an increase of $2.6 million , respectively. The Company expects to relieve substantially the entire balance in OCI as of April 1, 2016 to the Consolidated Statements of Income during the twelve-month period beginning April 2, 2016. Refer to Note I for additional OCI details.

Loss Contingency [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Materion Brush Inc., one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a defendant from time to time in proceedings where the plaintiffs allege they have contracted chronic beryllium disease (CBD) or related ailments as a result of exposure to beryllium. The Company will record a reserve for CBD or other litigation when a loss from either settlement or verdict is probable and estimable. Claims filed by third-party plaintiffs may be covered by insurance subject to deductibles which vary based on when the exposure occurred. Reserves are recorded for asserted claims only, and defense costs are expensed as incurred. One CBD case remains outstanding and one case is on appeal as of the end of the first quarter of 2016 , and the Company does not expect the resolution of these matters to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has an active environmental compliance program and records reserves for the probable cost of identified environmental remediation projects. The reserves are established based upon analyses conducted by the Company’s engineers and outside consultants and are adjusted from time to time based upon ongoing studies, the difference between actual and estimated costs, and other factors. The reserves may also be affected by rulings and negotiations with regulatory agencies. The undiscounted reserve balance was $5.7 million at both April 1, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Environmental projects tend to be long term, and the final actual remediation costs may differ from the amounts currently recorded.

Basis of Accounting	Basis of Presentation: In management’s opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Materion Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) contain all of the adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported. All adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 consolidated financial statement presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Pronouncements Adopted: In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires companies to present debt issuance costs associated with a debt liability as a deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability on the balance sheet rather than being capitalized as an asset. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016 and applied the new guidance on a retrospective basis which resulted in a decrease to Intangible assets, Short-term debt, and Long-term debt, at December 31, 2015, of $347 , $8 , and $339 , respectively. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. New Pronouncements Issued: In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which impacts several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the new standard, income tax benefits and deficiencies are to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awards will be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity will also recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the reporting period. Excess tax benefits will be classified, along with other income tax cash flows, as an operating activity. In regards to forfeitures, the entity may make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. The ASU, which is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, will be effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which eliminates the off-balance-sheet accounting for leases. The new guidance will require lessees to report their operating leases as both an asset and liability on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU, which is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, will be effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which supersedes previous revenue recognition guidance. The new standard requires that a company recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Companies will need to use more judgment and estimates than under the guidance currently in effect, including estimating the amount of variable revenue to recognize over each identified performance obligation. Additional disclosures will be required to help users of financial statements understand the nature, amount, and timing of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts. This ASU is effective beginning in fiscal year 2018 with a provision for early adoption in 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. No other recently issued or effective ASUs had, or are expected to have, a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
