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

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4303498

Beryllium was mixed with copper, nickel, iron, and chromium to form binary alloys in powder form, then extruded and cross rolled. The effect of each alloying element was determined by tensile testing. In solid solution small amounts of iron and nickel had an embrittiing effect, while copper in solution increased the strength but had no effect on ductility. The effect of chromium was complicated and not readily explainable. The planes and modes of fracture were investigated. (auth)
