improves many physical properties. For example, tools and components made of beryllium copper alloys are strong and hard and do not create sparks when they strike a steel surface. In air, the surface of beryllium oxidizes readily at room temperature to form a passivation layer 1-10 nm thick that protects it from further oxidation and corrosion. The metal oxidizes in bulk (beyond
