Berylliumis is a steel-grey, strong, extremely lightweight and brittle metal. Itis primarily used as a hardening agent. Beryllium's very low density(1.85 times that of water), high melting point (1287 °C), hightemperature stability and low coefficient of thermal expansion, make itin many ways an ideal aerospace material. It has been used in rocketnozzles and is a significant component of planned space telescopes.Because of its relatively high transparency to X-rays and other ionizing radiation types, beryllium also has a number of uses as filters and windows for radiation and particle physics experiments.
