Beryllium metal is used in the aerospace and defense industries to make lightweight precision instruments. The mirrors of the Spitzer Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which is scheduled for launch in 2018, are made of beryllium.
Beryllium is used in aluminum alloys containing magnesium to reduce oxidation at elevated temperatures. Up to 0.1% Be is used in aluminizing baths for steel to improve adhesion of the aluminum film and restrict the formation of the deleterious iron-aluminum complex.ts effect on aluminum-silicon alloys is to increase strength and decrease elongation, but it does not make these alloys heat treatable. 4 C 3, but carbide formation with other impurities such as titanium is possible. A1 4 C 3 decomposes in the presence of water and water vapor, and this may lead to surface pitting.
