PREPARATION AND EVALUATION OF HIGH PURITY BERYLLIUM. Final Report for period November 2, 1960 to November 1, 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4802719
Zone refining procedures for vertical floating-zone type zone melting of beryllium are described. Single crystals prepared from zone melted beryllium were tested in tension with their orientation arranged to yield basal plane slip. The critical resolved shear stress varied from 2400 to 400 psi, decreasing with increased purification; the glide strain varied from 16 to 220% increasing with increased purification. Procedures for the rolling of several single crystals of beryllium are described and the results of recrystallization studies on them are presented. (auth)
