Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Materion Corporation and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as the Company, our, we, or us) 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. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Specifically, the net sales related to the previously disclosed precision clad strip project have been reclassified from the other end market to the consumer electronics end market within Note B. Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07 “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)”. This ASU updates current reportable segment disclosure requirements to require disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2024. Adoption of this ASU will result in additional disclosure, but it will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)”. This ASU updates current income tax disclosure requirements to require disclosures of specific categories of information within the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. Adoption of this ASU will result in additional disclosure, but it will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The Company has the following reportable segments: Performance Materials, Electronic Materials, Precision Optics, and Other. The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's chief operating decision maker, in determining how to allocate the Company’s resources and evaluate performance. Performance Materials provides advanced engineered solutions comprised of beryllium and non-beryllium containing alloy systems and custom engineered parts in strip, bulk, rod, plate, bar, tube, and other customized shapes. Electronic Materials produces advanced chemicals, microelectric packaging, precious metal, non-precious metal, and specialty metal products, including vapor deposition targets, frame lid assemblies, clad and precious metal preforms, high temperature and braze materials. Precision Optics produces thin film coatings, optical filter materials, sputter-coated, and precision-converted thin film materials. The Other reportable segment includes unallocated corporate costs and assets. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The below table presents financial information for each segment and a reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) for the second quarter and first six months of 2024 and 2023: (Thousands) Second Quarter 2024 Second Quarter 2023 First Six Months Ended 2024 First Six Months Ended 2023 Net sales: Performance Materials (1) $ 187,513 $ 182,771 $ 356,158 $ 369,785 Electronic Materials (1) 212,687 190,730 404,658 419,549 Precision Optics 25,666 25,050 50,337 51,742 Other — — — — Net sales 425,866 398,551 811,153 841,076 Segment EBITDA: Performance Materials $ 40,415 $ 44,925 $ 71,091 $ 87,695 Electronic Materials 13,456 13,394 27,809 27,349 Precision Optics 1,589 1,701 1,336 4,393 Other (6,245) (7,598) (11,944) (14,253) Total Segment EBITDA 49,215 52,422 88,292 105,184 Income tax expense 4,864 4,347 6,068 8,928 Interest expense - net 8,802 7,641 17,081 15,142 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 16,513 16,352 32,698 31,444 Net income $ 19,036 $ 24,082 $ 32,445 $ 49,670 (1) Excludes inter-segment sales of $1.7 million and $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3.2 million and $4.1 million for the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, for Electronic Materials.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Net sales consist primarily of revenue from the sale of precious and non-precious specialty metals, beryllium and copper-based alloys, beryllium composites, and other products into numerous end markets. The Company requires an agreement with a customer that creates enforceable rights and performance obligations. The Company generally recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled upon satisfaction of a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to the customer. Control over a product is generally transferred to the customer when the Company has a present right to payment, the customer has legal title, the customer has physical possession, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and/or the customer has accepted the product. Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations: Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied at June 28, 2024. Remaining performance obligations include non-cancelable purchase orders and customer contracts. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement. As such, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. After considering the practical expedient at June 28, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $46.0 million. Contract Balances : The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections resulted in the following contract assets and contract liabilities: (Thousands) June 28, 2024 December 31, 2023 $ change % change Accounts receivable, trade $ 186,071 $ 193,345 $ (7,274) (4) % Unbilled receivables 30,770 29,524 1,246 4 % Unearned revenue 15,857 13,843 2,014 15 % Accounts receivable, trade represents payments due from customers relating to the transfer of the Company’s products and services. The Company believes that its receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded. Impairment losses (bad debt) incurred related to our receivables were immaterial during the second quarter of 2024. Unbilled receivables represent expenditures on contracts, plus applicable profit margin, not yet billed. Unbilled receivables are generally billed and collected within one year. Billings made on contracts are recorded as a reduction of unbilled receivables. Unearned revenue is recorded for consideration received from customers in advance of satisfaction of the related performance obligations. The Company recognized approximately $13.1 million of the December 31, 2023 unearned amounts as revenue during the first six months of 2024. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between the transfer of a product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. The Company does not include extended payment terms in its contracts with customers.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 20.4% and 15.3%, respectively, and 15.8% and 15.2% in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2024 is lower than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of percentage depletion and the foreign derived intangible income deduction. The effective tax rate for 2023 was lower than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of percentage depletion, research and development and production tax credits, and the foreign derived intangible income deduction. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2024 includes a net discrete income tax benefit of $0.2 million, primarily consisting of $1.0 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation awards offset by a $1.1 million valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized for one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2023 included a net discrete income tax benefit of $1.0 million, primarily related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation awards. Government Tax Credits Pursuant to The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), the Company is eligible for the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (production credit) beginning in 2023. The production credit provides an annual cash benefit for a portion of the production costs for the sale of certain critical minerals produced in the U.S. and sold during the year. On December 15, 2023, the U.S. Treasury Department published proposed regulations on the production credit that include clarifying guidance regarding the definition of production costs in the computation of the production credit. Although the proposed guidance is not authoritative and is subject to change in the regulatory review process, the guidance indicates that the Treasury Department may implement a narrower definition of eligible production costs in the final regulations. The ultimate amount of the benefit that the Company is entitled to receive in connection with the production credit will depend on the final regulations issued on the production credit. The Company records the production credit as a reduction in cost of goods sold as the applicable items are produced and sold. U.S. GAAP does not address the accounting for government grants received by a business entity that are outside the scope of ASC 740. Our accounting policy is to analogize to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance , under IFRS Accounting Standards. We recognize the benefit of the production credits by applying IAS 20 in pretax income on a systematic basis in line with its recognition of the expenses that the grant is intended to compensate. Pillar Two The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) introduced rules to establish a global minimum corporate tax, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. Numerous foreign countries have enacted legislation to implement the Pillar Two rules, effective beginning in 2024, or are expected to enact similar legislation. The Company continues to evaluate the Pillar Two rules but does not expect Pillar Two to have a significant impact on its effective tax rate or consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Customer Prepayments [Abstract]
Customer Prepayments	Customer Prepayments In 2020, the Company entered into an investment agreement and a master supply agreement with a customer to procure equipment to manufacture product for the customer. The customer provided prepayments to the Company to fund the necessary infrastructure improvements and procure the equipment necessary to supply the customer with the desired product. The Company owns, operates and maintains the equipment that is being used to manufacture product for the customer. Revenue will be recognized as the Company fulfills purchase orders and ships the commercial product to the customer, as product delivery is considered the satisfaction of the performance obligation. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the investment agreement with the same customer to procure additional equipment to manufacture product for the customer. In 2023, the Company received the remaining prepayments related to this amendment, the total of which approximated $38.6 million. As of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $72.4 million and $84.7 million, respectively, of prepayments are classified as Unearned income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The prepayments will remain in Unearned income until commercial purchase orders are received for product serviced out of the equipment, at which time a portion of the purchase order value related to prepayments will be reclassified to Unearned revenue. As of June 28, 2024, $5.7 million of the prepayments are classified as Unearned revenue.

Stock-based Compensation Expense	Stock-based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense, which includes awards settled in shares and in cash, was $2.7 million and $5.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2024, respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2023. The Company granted 36,919 SARs to certain employees during the first six months of 2024. The weighted-average exercise price per share and weighted-average fair value per share of the SARs granted during the six months ended June 28, 2024 were $135.58 and $50.46, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the SARs using the following weighted-average assumptions in the Black-Scholes model: Risk-free interest rate 4.17 % Dividend yield 0.38 % Volatility 38.3 % Expected term (in years) 4.6 The Company granted 47,595 stock-settled RSUs to certain employees during the first six months of 2024. The Company measures the fair value of stock-settled 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 $131.51 for stock-settled RSUs granted to employees during the six months ended June 28, 2024. RSUs are generally expensed over the vesting period of three years for employees. The Company granted stock-settled performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) to certain employees in the first six months of 2024. The weighted-average fair value of the stock-settled PRSUs was $164.40 per share and will be expensed over the vesting period of three years. The final payout to the employees for all PRSUs will be based upon the Company’s return on invested capital and its total return to shareholders over the vesting period relative to a peer group’s performance over the same period.

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 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 June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023: (Thousands) Total Carrying Value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Quoted Prices Significant Significant 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 Financial Assets Deferred compensation investments $ 5,106 $ 4,899 $ 5,106 $ 4,899 $ — $ — $ — $ — Foreign currency forward contracts 702 615 — — 702 615 — — Interest rate swaps 7,439 6,492 — — 7,439 6,492 — — Precious metal swaps — 353 — — — 353 — — Total $ 13,247 $ 12,359 $ 5,106 $ 4,899 $ 8,141 $ 7,460 $ — $ — Financial Liabilities Deferred compensation liability $ 5,106 $ 4,899 $ 5,106 $ 4,899 $ — $ — $ — $ — Foreign currency forward contracts 357 1,500 — — 357 1,500 — — Interest rate swaps 26 1,096 — — 26 1,096 — — Precious metal swaps 423 485 — — 423 485 — — Total $ 5,912 $ 7,980 $ 5,106 $ 4,899 $ 806 $ 3,081 $ — $ — 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, metals, and interest rates. The carrying values of the other working capital items and debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair values as of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company's deferred compensation investments and liabilities are based on the fair value of the investments corresponding to the employees’ investment selections, primarily in mutual funds, based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Deferred compensation investments are primarily presented in Other assets. Deferred compensation liabilities are primarily presented in Other long-term liabilities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedg

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity	6 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity The Company uses derivative contracts to hedge exposure to movements in interest rates associated with borrowings, foreign currency exposures, and precious metal and copper exposures. The objectives and strategies for using derivatives in these areas are as follows: Interest Rate. On March 4, 2022, the Company entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk on the Credit Agreement described in Note P. The swap hedges the change in 1-month Secured Overnight Financial Rate (SOFR) from March 4, 2022 to November 2, 2026. On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into two $50.0 million interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk on the Credit Agreement described in Note P. The swaps hedge the change in 1-month USD-SOFR. The purpose of these hedges is to manage the risk of changes in the monthly interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. 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, the 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 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 nature of instruments to use to hedge exposures. 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. Foreign currency contracts are typically layered in at different times for a specified exposure period in order to minimize the impact of market 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 product containing precious metal is fabricated and delivered to the customer, the metal content is purchased out of consignment based on the current market price. The price paid by the Company for the precious metal forms the basis for the price charged to the customer for the metal content in the product. 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 precious metal consignors that charge the Company consignment fees based upon the value of the metal as it fluctuates while on consignment. Each precious metal consignor retains title to its consigned precious metal until it is purchased by the Company, and it is the Company’s typical practice to purchase metal out of consignment only after a product containing that metal has been purchased by one of our customers. In certain instances, a customer may want to fix 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 out of consignment 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 refined and purchased, thereby reducing the exposure to adverse movements in the price of the metal. The Company may also enter into hedges to mitigate the risk relating to the prices of the metals that we process or refine. In certain circumstances, the Company also refines metal from the customer and may retain a portion of the refined metal as payment. The Company may elect to enter into a forward contract to sell precious metal to reduce the Company's price exposure in these instances. 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 infrequent and, when made 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 paid when the metal is transferred back to the consignment line, thereby limiting any price exposure during the time when the metal was owned by the Company. The Company will only enter into a derivative contract if there is an underlying identified exposure. Contracts are typically held to maturity. The Company does not engage in derivative trading activities and does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The Company only uses hedge contracts that are denominated in the same currency or metal as the underlying exposure. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If a 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) and reclassified into income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects 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.

Loss Contingency [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Legal Proceedings . The Company is party to several pending legal proceedings and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event the Company determines that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, and it becomes possible to develop what the Company believes to be a reasonable range of possible loss, then the Company will include disclosure related to such matters. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that the losses could exceed any amounts accrued, the Company will adjust the accrual in the period the determination is made, disclose an estimate of the additional loss or range of loss, indicate that the estimate is immaterial with respect to its financial statements as a whole or, if the amount of such adjustment cannot be reasonably estimated, disclose that an estimate cannot be made. Environmental Proceedings. 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 $4.4 million and $4.6 million at June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in Other liabilities and accrued items and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Environmental projects tend to be long-term, and the final actual remediation costs may differ from the amounts currently recorded.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Materion Corporation and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as the Company, our, we, or us) 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.
Reclassification	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Specifically, the net sales related to the previously disclosed precision clad strip project have been reclassified from the other end market to the consumer electronics end market within Note B.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07 “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)”. This ASU updates current reportable segment disclosure requirements to require disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2024. Adoption of this ASU will result in additional disclosure, but it will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)”. This ASU updates current income tax disclosure requirements to require disclosures of specific categories of information within the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. Adoption of this ASU will result in additional disclosure, but it will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Net sales consist primarily of revenue from the sale of precious and non-precious specialty metals, beryllium and copper-based alloys, beryllium composites, and other products into numerous end markets. The Company requires an agreement with a customer that creates enforceable rights and performance obligations. The Company generally recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled upon satisfaction of a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to the customer. Control over a product is generally transferred to the customer when the Company has a present right to payment, the customer has legal title, the customer has physical possession, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and/or the customer has accepted the product.
