This chapter addresses the issue of stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) in carbon and low-alloy steels. It discusses crack initiation, propagation, and fracture in aqueous chloride, hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, hydroxide, ammonia, nitrate, ethanol, methanol, and hydrogen gas environments. It explains how composition and microstructure influence SCC, as do mechanical properties such as strength and fracture toughness and processes such as welding and cold work. It also discusses the role of materials selection and best practices for welding.

This chapter discusses the synthesis of important beryllium compounds, including beryllium borides, beryllium carbide, beryllium carbonates, beryllium carboxylates, beryllium halides, beryllium hydride, beryllium hydroxide, beryllium nitrate, beryllium nitride, beryllium oxalate, beryllium oxide, beryllium oxide carboxylates, beryllium perchlorate, beryllium phosphates, beryllium sulfate, and beryllium sulfide.

Containment materials used in power generating applications are subject to molten salt corrosion. This chapter reviews the data relevant to corrosion problems in molten salt environments. It describes the corrosion behavior of steel, aluminum, nickel, and titanium alloys in molten chlorides, molten nitrates, molten fluorides, molten carbonates, and molten sodium hydroxide.

This chapter describes a process for recovering beryllium from industrial waste associated with beryllium-copper production. It presents several detailed flowsheets along with typical operating parameters such as flow rates, chemical concentrations, particle sizes, and compositional ranges.

This appendix provides information on the chemical composition, method of use, and applications of various etchants used in the metallography of carbon steels.
