Research abstract
Be replacement is a growing conern both nationally and internationally. Be toxicity and other availability concerns in coming years makes it a liability for any program at this time. In this Phase I progam various materials will be evaluated and tested against Raytheon EKV constraints to determine the apporiate replacement material. Commercially there are many computer and other components made from Be- computers, elecgtronic heat sinks, lightly loaded structures.
