Beryllium copper tools are more expensive, relatively weak, and wear out faster than tools, which are made of steel. Aluminium bronze is an alternative metal that is sometimes used for non-sparking tools. Beryllium copper MSDS Precautions must be taken while performing processes like melting, casti...
the most widely used alloy being beryllium-copper—properly called “a bronze”—which has a high tensile strength and a capacity for being hardened by heat treatment. Beryllium bronzes are used in non-spark tools, electrical switch parts, and watch springsOne of the largest uses of the metal...
Beryllium forms an important alloy with copper and is also a constituent of some magnesium and aluminium brazing alloys. It is highly toxic; serious illness and death have resulted from exposure to metallic beryllium and its compounds in the form of fume and dust and stringent precautions should ...
Beryllium and/or beryllium oxide in any form is quite expensive, and this fact limits their use. The current price (2004) for the powder metal was $375 per pound, and for copper master alloy, $160 per pound of Be content. Show moreView chapterExplore book Group 16 (O, S, Se, Te)...
