Form This specification covers aluminum-beryllium powders consolidated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) into the form of blocks@ blanks or shapes. Application These preforms have been used typically for parts requiring high thermal conductivity@ low density and high modulus of elasticity@ 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 that may be involved in such use. It is the sole 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. WARNING: Beryllium Alloy Inhaling dust or fumes containing beryllium may cause chronic beryllium disease@ a serious chronic lung disease@ in some individuals. Over time@ lung disease can be fatal. Read the product specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional environmental@ health and safety information before working with beryllium or beryllium-containing materials.
