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.

ISBN:

Evaluations of pure beryllium, plus 72 binary beryllium alloys. Bibliography through 1986. Required reference sources for engineers and scientists alike, each volume in the Phase Diagram Monograph Series presents the most complete, authoritative, and reliable phase equilibria information ever published on the alloys. Each volume comprises critical evaluations of individual alloy systems performed by experts under the ASM/NIST Data Program for Alloy Phase Diagrams. Evaluation involves searching the literature for all existing thermodynamic and related information on the system, assessing value and distilling the best data into a comprehensive report. Phase diagrams are plotted in atomic percent, but include a secondary weight percent scale. Important points are labeled with composition and temperature. Supplementary graphs provide enlargements of complex areas, solubilities and transformations on the phase diagrams, as well as ancillary drawings that show lattice parameters and thermodynamic data. The text includes discussion of stable and metastable phases, order-disorder and magnetic transitions, thermodynamic calculations and modeling, discrepancies in data values and controversial areas and uncertainties in the diagram. In addition, tables list invariant reactions, crystal structures, lattice parameters, experimental values and thermodynamic parameters.

At the official dinner of a· meeting in May 1939, I was seated next to Max Hansen. When I congratulated him on the well deserved success of his "Aufbau der Zweistoff-Legierungen", he smiled: "yes, it was a struggle with the hydra, and so it has taken me seven years", meaning that whenever he had thought to have finished the phase diagram of a particular system, new evidence would turn up like the new heads of the Greek monster. There is no need to point out the importance of assessed phase diagrams to metallurgists or even anyone concerned with the technology and applica tion of metals and alloys. The information contained therein is fundamental to considerations concerning the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of alloys. Hansen's German monograph was followed by a revised English edition in 1958 with K. Anderko and the supplements by R.P. Elliott (1965) and F.A. Shunk (1969). All those who have made use of these volumes will admit that much diligent labour has gone into this work, necessary to cope with the ever increasing number of publications and the consequent improvements.

Phase diagrams are "maps" materials scientists often use to design new materials. They define what compounds and solutions are formed and their respective compositions and amounts when several elements are mixed together under a certain temperature and pressure. This monograph is the most comprehensive reference book on experimental methods for phase diagram determination. It covers a wide range of methods that have been used to determine phase diagrams of metals, ceramics, slags, and hydrides.* Extensive discussion on methodologies of experimental measurements and data assessments * Written by experts around the world, covering both traditional and combinatorial methodologies* A must-read for experimental measurements of phase diagrams
