Progress is reported in electron beam melting of beryllium, hafnium, vanadium, cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten. Deoxidation of metals by additions of other metals and carbon during electron beam melting is also being investigated. Results indicate that hafnium can be purified by electron beam melting. Elements that are removed by double electron beam melting are Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ge, In, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Si, Sn, W, O, N, and H. (For preceding period see NP-8447.) (J.R.D.)
