Baxter, W

The properties, fabrication, preparation, and analysis of beryllium are described. Data are presented on chemical composition, density, specific gravity, isotopes, abundance of element and availability, melting point, softening range, boiling point, vapor pressure, specific heat, coefficient of expansion, thermal conductivty, dielectric loss, electrical resistivity, emissivity, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, Poissons ratio, hardness, thermal shock resistance, mechanical resistance, flow characteristics under stress, strength at elevated temperatures, stability with gaseous media, casting, forging, extrusion, welding, rolling, powder metallurgy, unusual fabrication methods, and toxic properties. Equilibrium studies with other elements and compounds, structural studies, and changes in properties under exposure to radiation are discussed. (M.C.G.)
