                         Report of Independent Auditors
                         ------------------------------


Administrative Committee of
 Brush Wellman Inc. Savings
 and Investment Plan

        We have audited the financial statements of Brush Wellman Inc. Savings
and Investment Plan listed in the Annual Report on Form 11-K as of and for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and December 30, 1993.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the Annual Report on
Form 11-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Brush Wellman Inc. Savings and Investment Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
the results of its operations and changes in its plan equity for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and December 30, 1993 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

        Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995 and reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995 are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and
are not a required part of the financial statements.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               BRUSH WELLMAN INC.
                           SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

           DECEMBER 31, 1995, DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND DECEMBER 30, 1993

NOTE A - The accounting records of the Brush Wellman Inc. Savings and Investment
Plan (Plan) are maintained on the accrual basis. Investments are stated at
current market value. Investment in securities traded on national securities
exchanges are valued at the latest reported closing price. Investment in
participant units of the Northern Trust Short-Term Investment Fund, Managed
Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund and the Employee Benefits Money Market Fund
are stated at market value as determined by the Trustee. Cost is determined by
the average cost method.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        In 1994 the Plan changed its year end from December 30 to December 31.
The effect of this change on the financial statements is not material.

        Effective January 1, 1995 the Williams Advanced Materials Inc. Savings
and Investment Plan was merged into the Plan. Prior to the merger, the plans
separately covered eligible employees at Brush Wellman Inc. and its subsidiary
Williams Advanced Materials Inc.. There have been no substantial changes in
eligibility, Company contributions, plan benefits or value of plan assets as a
result of the merger. The transferred net assets have been recognized in the
accounts of the Plan, at the balances as previously carried in the accounts of
the Williams Advanced Materials Inc. Savings and Investment Plan. The changes
in net assets of the combined plans are included in the accompanying Statement
of Income and Changes in Plan Equity available for benefits from January 1,
1995.

NOTE B - The Plan is a defined contribution plan which covers certain eligible
employees with one year of eligibility service with Brush Wellman Inc.
(Company). An employee shall be credited with a year of eligibility service if
he is credited with at least 1,000 hours of service in any twelve consecutive
month period beginning with date of hire or rehire of the employee (or an
anniversary of the latest such date).

        The Plan provides for basic contributions on behalf of employees up to
6% of their earnings through either salary reduction or employee after-tax
contributions. Basic contributions were matched by the Company at the rate of
50% of such contributions. The rate at which such basic contributions are
matched by the Company may be decreased or increased (up to 100%) by action of
the Company's Board of Directors.

        An employee who makes basic contributions of 6% of earnings may also
make supplemental contributions of up to 9% of earnings which are not matched by
Company

                                       8
   11
contributions and which may be made in any combination of salary reduction 
and/or after-tax contributions.

        An employee's contributions made to the Plan on a salary reduction basis
may not exceed certain maximum amounts. The maximum amounts were $9,240 in 1995,
$9,240 in 1994 and $8,994 in 1993. All employee and Company matching
contributions are fully vested at all times.

        Participants may direct that their basic, supplemental and transfer
contributions (as described in the Plan) be invested in one or more of the
following: Growth Fund, International Fund, Income Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund,
Asset Allocation Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Money Market Fund and the Company
Stock Fund in increments of 1%. Prior to March 3, 1995, participant contribution
directions were allowed at 10% increments. All Company matching contributions
are invested in the Company Stock Fund except with respect to Participants age
55 or older who may transfer such contributions to other investment funds. Prior
to March 3, 1995 the minimum age for the exception was 59 1/2.

        The Growth Fund invests primarily in the Janus Fund. The objective of
the fund is to produce capital appreciation; dividend income is a secondary
source of return. The fund invests primarily in the stocks of companies and
industries that are experiencing increasing demand for their products and
services.

        The International Fund invests primarily in the Templeton Foreign Fund.
The objective of the fund is to produce capital appreciation. The fund primarily
invests in stocks of companies located outside of the United States.

        The Income Fund invests primarily in the PFAMCO Equity Income Fund. The
objective of the fund is to seek current income from stocks in each industry
that have low prices relative to their earnings and high dividend yields. The
fund will usually be fully invested in stocks.

        The S&P 500 Fund invests primarily in the Northern Trust Collective
Stock Index Fund. The objective of the fund is to produce returns that match the
returns of the Standand & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund proportionately
invests in each of the stocks that comprise the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Index.

        The Asset Allocation Fund invests primarily in the Phoenix Total Return
Fund. The objective of the fund is to maximize total returns consistent with
reasonable risk using a combination of stocks, bonds, and money market
investments.

        The Fixed Income Fund invests primarily in the PIMCO Total Return Fund.
The objective of the fund is to seek current income and capital appreciation.
The fund invests in bonds with an average maturity of three to six years and
will generally be invested in high quality securities including U.S. Government
bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities and money market
investments.

        The Money Market Fund invests primarily in the Northern Trust Short-Term
Investment Fund. The objective of the fund is to maximize current income on cash
reserves to the extent consistent with principal preservation and maintenance of
liquidity. The fund invests in high-grade money market instruments with short
maturities.

                                       9
   12
        The Company Stock Fund invests primarily in Brush Wellman Inc. Common
Stock.

        Prior to January 1, 1995 participants could direct their basic,
supplemental and transfer contributions (as described in the Plan) be invested
in one or more of the following; Income Fund, Equity Fund A, Equity Fund B,
Equity Fund C and the Company Stock Fund in increments of 10%.

        The Income Fund invests primarily in the Managed Guaranteed Investment
Contract Fund, the objective of which is to achieve high current income with
stability of principal. The fund is primarily invested in Guaranteed Investment
Contracts.

        Equity Fund A invests primarily in the Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Fund.
This fund is a growth and income fund. It seeks a yield that corresponds with
the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's share
price will fluctuate and dividend amounts will vary.

        Equity Fund B invests primarily in the Fidelity Fund. This fund seeks
long-term capital growth and current return on capital and will select some
securities for their income characteristics, which may limit the potential for
growth. The fund's share price and dividend income will fluctuate as the value
and yields of the securities in its investment portfolio fluctuate.

        Equity Fund C invests primarily in Fidelity Puritan Fund. This fund is a
growth and income fund. It seeks capital growth in addition to regular quarterly
dividends. It invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks,
preferred stocks and bonds, including lower-quality, high yield debt securities.
The fund's share price will fluctuate and dividend amounts will vary.

        The Plan, as originally adopted, included a Payroll Stock Ownership Plan
(PAYSOP) feature that applied through 1986. Under the PAYSOP, the Company made
contributions based upon a percentage of payroll and was afforded an additional
credit against federal income tax up to the amount allowable by the Internal
Revenue Code. The PAYSOP contribution by the Company, which could be in Common
Stock of the Company or cash used to purchase Common Stock of the Company, was a
percentage of the compensation paid to all employees who made salary reduction
contributions to the Plan at any time during the year and who were members of
the Plan as of the last pay period of such year. The shares of Common Stock of
the Company contributed or purchased were allocated equally to all eligible
participants.

        A participant may borrow funds from his account, excluding his interest
in the PAYSOP Fund, provided such loan is secured by the participant's interest
in his account and evidenced by a promissory note executed by the participant.
The promissory notes are held in trust as a separate fund, Loan Fund, of the
Plan.

        Prior to June 1, 1989, participants who were employees of Williams
Advanced Materials Inc. could have directed a portion of their contributions to
be used to purchase insurance policies that were excluded from the former
Williams Advanced Materials Inc. Savings and Investment Plan assets. Life
insurance policies on the lives of participants, purchased under

                                       10
   13
the former Williams Advanced Materials Inc. Savings and Investment Plan prior to
July 1, 1989, may continue to be held.

        All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the administration of
the Plan for 1995, 1994, and 1993 were paid by the Company.

        Information concerning the Plan agreement and the vesting and benefit
provisions is contained in the Summary Plan Description. Copies of this pamphlet
are available from the Plan administrator.

NOTE C - At retirement, death or other termination, a participant (or his death
beneficiary) is eligible to receive a distribution of all employee, Company
matching and PAYSOP contributions credited to the employee's account plus or
minus any net gain or loss thereon.

        The value of distributions and withdrawals is based on the value of a
participant's account on the valuation date immediately preceding the date of
distribution or withdrawal and is deducted from the participant's account as of
such valuation date.

        Distribution to a participant or a person designated by the participant
as his death beneficiary is made under one of the following methods as elected
by the participant:

        (i)  Lump sum payment in cash; or

        (ii) Lump sum payment in cash, except that a participant's interest in
             the Company Stock Fund and the PAYSOP Fund will be paid in full
             shares of Common Stock of the Company, with any fractional shares
             being paid in cash.

NOTE G - The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Plan is qualified
under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) and that the related trust is,
therefore, tax-exempt under Code Section 501(a).

        Continued qualification of the Plan depends upon timely adoption and
operational application of certain amendments required as a result of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 (Act). In the Company's opinion, the Plan is operating in
compliance with the applicable provisions of the Act.

        The Company is allowed a federal income tax deduction for its employer
matching contributions to the Plan.

        The Plan provides, among other things, for contributions to be made to
the Plan pursuant to a qualified cash or deferred arrangement (CODA) under
Section 401(k) of the IRC. CODA contributions made to the Trust for a
participant will reduce a participant's current compensation and will not be
included in the gross income of the participant for federal income tax purposes
in the year made. Such amounts will, however, be considered as part of the
participant's gross income for purposes of Social Security taxes.

        Non-CODA contributions withheld under the Plan from a participant
through payroll deductions will be included in the gross income of the
participant in the year withheld and are not deductible by the participant for
federal income tax purposes.

        A participant does not become subject to federal income taxes as a
result of their participation in the Plan until the assets in their account are
withdrawn by, or distributed to, the participant.

NOTE H - The Plan was restated on January 1, 1995. Subsequent amendments Nos.
1 and 2 also effective March 3, 1995 and January 1, 1995 provide for certain
provisions concerning member contributions, distributions and key employee
testing procedures.
