THE EFFECT OF COPPER, NICKEL, IRON, AND CHROMIUM ON THE TENSILE PROPERTIES OF PREFERENTIALLY ORIENTED BERYLLIUM SHEET

Journal Article · · Trans. Met. Soc. AIME
OSTI ID:4022644

Beryllium was mixed by powder metallurgical techniques with copper, nickel, iron, and chromium, respectively, to form beryllium-rich binary alloys which were then extruded and rolled transverse to the extrusion direction. The effect of each alloying element was determined by tensile testing. In solid solution, small amounts of iron and nickel had an embrittling effect, while copper in solution increased the strength but had no effect on ductility. The effect of chromium was complicated and not readily explainable. Observations concerning the planes and modes of fracture are made. (auth)
