CORROSION OF BERYLLIUM

Abstract

The report summarizes the corrosion behavior of beryllium. The effects on beryllium of the following environments are considered: moisture, salt solutions, acids, alkalis, gases, organic liquids, molten materials, and solid materials. Stress-corrosion cracking and galvanic effects are also discussed. A final section of the report reviews various types of coatings for protection of beryllium from corrosion by a variety of environments.
