Abstract:

Beryllium and its compounds are being studied to determine the degree to which they will be useful for future missile and space systems. To date, research has concentrated on optical properties of beryllia and the welding of beryllia to itself and other ceramics. The beryllide research studies were surveyed and a research program is underway. A facility has been designed for the handling of Be compounds and other toxic materials. Author
