Form

This specification covers a beryllium aluminum alloy in the form of investment castings.

Application

These castings have been used typically for optical support structures and other parts requiring higher stiffness, damping capability, and lighter weight than cast aluminum alloys with similar strength levels, but usage is not limited to such applications.

Safety - Hazardous Materials

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
