Preliminary Survey of Mechanical Properties and Phase Relationships in Several Beryllium Binary Alloys: July 1, 1958-June 30, 1959
- Nuclear Metals, Inc., Concord, MA (United States)
Attempts were made to fabricate beryllium-rich zinc alloys (maximum zinc content approximately 1 w/o) by powder metallurgy techniques. Free zinc was detected in the microstructure even after solutionizing at temperatures up to 1100°C (2012°F). No beryllium-zinc intermetallic compounds were detected. Dezincification of the beryllium alloy probably does not become serious until temperatures about 700°C (1292°F) are reached. No solid solubility of zinc in beryllium was noted, since the beryllium lattice parameter remained unchanged by zinc addition and/or solutionizing heat treatments. The tensile properties of these alloys were at best erratic and generally poorer than pure beryllium.
