GENERAL APPLICATIONS

1. B-26-D - Beryllium Vacuum Castings

   This specification defines the requirements for a material produced by vacuum melting and casting designated as B-26-D

2. Berylcoat D

   A recommended procedure is described for surface treating beryllium parts with Berylcoat D, a proprietary solution available from Materion. Treatment with Berylcoat D forms a thin passivation coating less than 100 Angstrom units thick on the metal surface. The coating provides increased corrosion resistance and shelf life in environments of high humidity and moderately elevated temperature. The coating does not alter the dimensional tolerances nor the metallic appearance of the metal.
