BERYLLIUM BRONZE
----------------

In a paper read on March 10th 1937, before the
Annual General Meeting of the Institute of Metals,
Dr. Gough and Mr. Sopwith (N.P.L.) made the statement
that :-

"The results show that the corrosion-fatigue
resistance of the bronzes compares
favourably with that of the stainless steels,
the beryllium bronze in particular having
the highest corrosion-fatigue resistance
of any material so far investigated by
the authors."

This applies to beryllium bronze supplied by
James Booth & Company (1915) Limited, with a nominal
beryllium content of 2.5 per cent.

Corrosion-Fatigue" by Dr. Gough and Mr. Sopwith.
