Mail*Link(r) SMTP FWD>FAB: Depositing Beryllium Gordy, Beryllium cannot be deposited by any traditional electro- or electorless plating methods, it can be plated by physical vapor deposition (PVD). Years ago we did some here at work and at one time there was a commercial PVD company here in Livermore, CA that was doing it. I'm not sure if they still do, due to the environmental, safety and health concerns. I'll contact our PVD personel and see if they can help you or point you in the right direction. Ralph Hersey [log in to unmask] -------------------------------------- Date: 8/6/96 9:23 AM From: Seppanen Gordy Can Beryllium (Be) be electro-formed or electroplated? Can it also be deposited by electroless, vapor phase, or any other means other than adhesive laminations? We make a part out of Be which is expensive to manufacture due to the toxicity of Be dust when it is machined. I would like to make the part out of another material and coat it with Be. Is it feasible?
