Where I work (Paragon Spring Co.) we get parts that spec. Beryllium copper alloy. And when ever we get material from our material suppliers, they include a litte label which states the dangers of inhalation of dust or fumes. Such chronic diseases as berylliosis. In its solid form presents little problem. When you start grinding the ends of a BC spring and have BC dust. Now you've got something to worry about. Same goes .for nickel alloys. Something interesting on that label. Is says "Sold for manufacturing purposes only" I wonder what else you would use it for.
