Jenkins, R G; Siergiej, J M

In a program to develop a complete manufacturing process for ihe production of beryllium channels, techniques are being sought for drawing to obtain a flnal product meeting specifications more rigorous than are obtainable by direct extrusion. Progress in designing and procuring the special tooling required to draw complex shapes at elevated temperature is described, and the flrst set of draw dies is evaluated with respect to design and quality. Three experimental draw attempts have been made on U-channels, in addition to draw tests on flats. (auth)
