[QUOTE="sixonice, post: 9826, member: 2"] Your on the right track Al. Beryllium exposure is linked to BERYLLIOSIS an incurable, chronic, allergic-type lung disease caused by exposure to the compound Beryllium. I don't want to alarm anybody. Beryllium alloys have been around for years, you can still purchase Rexillium III which has it. Years back a couple folks contracted BERYLLIOSIS from improper processing in the lab and OSHA got involved and tagged it hazardous. In response to the OSHA deal, most manufacturers elminated Beryllium from their NP selections. Beryllium made NP alloy more user friendly - it "pooled" when melted and metal finished much easier. All of this can be rectified by wearing an OSHA approved mask when casting and metal finishing (if your still using Beryllium containing NP). [/QUOTE]
