This book introduces beryllium;
its history, its chemical, mechanical, and physical properties including
nuclear properties. The 29
chapters include the mineralogy of beryllium and the preferred global
sources of ore bodies. The
identification and specifics of the industrial metallurgical processes used to
form oxide from the ore and then
metal from the oxide are thoroughly described. The special features
of beryllium chemistry are
introduced, including analytical chemical practices. Beryllium compounds of
industrial interest are identified
and discussed. Alloying, casting, powder processing, forming, metal
removal, joining and other
manufacturing processes are covered. The effect of composition and process
on the mechanical and physical
properties of beryllium alloys assists the reader in material selection.
The physical metallurgy chapter
brings conformity between chemical and physical metallurgical processing
of beryllium, metal, alloys, and
compounds. The environmental degradation of beryllium and its alloys both
in aqueous and high temperature
condition are presented. The health and environmental issues are thoroughly
presented the current requirements
and established practices for handling beryllium in the workplace are
available. A thorough list
of references will assist the user of this book.
