FABRICATION OF ULTRAFINE BERYLLIUM WIRE. Final Report. Technical Report 318-240

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4699680
The results of six month's work directed toward development of a process for the production of ultrafine beryllium wire by warm drawing techniques are described. C1ad drawing was found to be unacceptable. Using conventional drawing techniques, long lengths, 200 feet and over of 0.0018 inch-diameter, shorter lengths, 50 to 25 feet of 0.0015-inch diameter, and very short lengths, under 2 feet of 0.00115-inch diameter beryllium wire were produced. The mechanical properties of drawn beryllium wire between the sizes of 0.010- and 0.001497-inch diameter are described. (auth)
