Cook, N C

A method is given for depositing a uniform, adherent, corrosion- resistant beryllide coating on a metal. The method comprises immersing the metal and Be in a fused bath of BF/sub 3/ and 10 to 67 mole% of an alkali metal fluoride and making an electrical connection between the metal and Be outside the bath to deposit Be on the metal. The metals which may be beryllided in this way are those having atomic numbers of 21-29, 39-47, 57-79, and 89-98, and alloys having these metals as major constituents. Several examples of the method are given. (D.L.C.)
