HOT HARDNESS TESTING APPLIED TO THE AGEING AND HEAT TREATMENT OF BERYLLIUM

Journal Article · · J. Less-Common Metals
A brief description of the apparatus is included. Sections from extruded rod, produced from thermally reduced pebble metal ingot and from electrolytically reduced flake metal ingot, were tested at temperatures up to 600 deg C. Results show that pebble metal exhibits both strain and precipitation ageing mechanisms, these being removed by precipitation annealing between 600 and 800 deg C with consequent improvement in high temperature ductility characteristics. No such phenomena were detected in flake material. (auth)
