BERYLLIUM RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS. Quarterly Progress Report to WADC for the Period October 1, 1958 to January 1, 1959
Bendability as a function of bend sample width was determined for the following types of wrought Be: pressed, pressed and bi-directionally rolled to low reduction, upset, extruded and rolled in the extrusion direction, extruded and rolled in the cross direction, and sheet produced under phase II of the Be rolling program. Composites consisting of alternatc strips of Be and Al in single layers were formed and iested for bend ductility. Some tensile data were obtaincd for the transverse direction of the Be -Al strip composite. Small samples of Be were clad by brazing to either stainless steel or titanium, then tested for bend ductility with the cladding on the tension side of the bend. Severaj attempts were made to clad Be with stainless steel by coextrusion. Small samples of given width and thickaess were coated with Al by dipping, then tested for bend ductility for the purpose of noting any unusual changes from the bend behavior of uncoated Be. (W.L.H.)
