ON THE DUCTILITY OF POLYCRYSTALLINE BERYLLIUM
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4349876
The elongation to failure of single and polycrystalline specimens of beryllium is markedly correlated with crystal and grain orientations, varying from virtually zero to tens of percent. The available evidence on the deformation of beryllium is reviewed. It is suggested that the anomalous ductility of the metal under time independent straining conditions can be rationalized on the basis of the great resistance to compressive deformation normal to the basal plane offered by the crystals at temperatures below 700 deg C. From this analysis it appears that directional ductility can in principle be induced in the metal to meet specific requirements. Suggestions for experimental work to examine the validity of the analysis are given. (auth)
