The Beryllium Thread

I'm putting this in here so that it won't hang around the top of the lounge while I cut and paste information in to post after post.

This is part of my ongoing offseaon attempt to get us ranked on the first page of some search engine(s) when nerds search for "beryllium".

Before you PM me with "Why?", the answer is simply that I am sitting around reading log files at work and cutting and pasting into this thread requires absolutely NO mental stress.

Beryllium has a low thermal neutron absorption, which is why, it is commonly used as a reflector or moderator in nuclear reactors.

It is mixed with an alpha emitter such as polonium 210, radium 226 or actinium 227, and used in neutron sources.

It is also used in the pipes of various high energy particle physics experiments, such as the Large Hadron Collider.

The oxide of beryllium is an excellent heat conductor as well as a good electrical insulator.

It is often used as an insulator base plate, in high power transistors for telecommunication purposes.

Beryllium is resistant to corrosion; weight for weight, it is stronger than steel, and because of its low density (about 1/3 that of aluminum) it has found extensive use in the aerospace industry.

Beryllium is soluble in hot nitric acid, dilute hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, and sodium hydroxide.

Like aluminum and magnesium, which it resembles chemically, it readily forms compounds with other elements; it is not found free in nature.

However, like aluminum, it is resistant to oxidation in air, even at a red heat; it is thought to form a protective oxide film that prevents further oxidation.

The compounds of beryllium are sweet-tasting and highly toxic; this toxicity has limited the use of beryllium as a rocket fuel, even though it yields more heat on combustion for its weight than any other element.

Beryllium transmits X rays much better than glass or other metals; this property, together with its high melting point, makes it desirable as a window material for high-intensity X-ray tubes. Because beryllium resists attack by liquid sodium metal, it is employed in cooling systems of nuclear reactors that use liquid sodium as the heat-transfer material; because it is a good reflector and absorber of neutrons, it is also used as a shield and as a moderator in nuclear reactors.

The addition of 2% to 3% of beryllium to copper makes a nonmagnetic alloy six times stronger than pure copper.
