INTERMEDIATE-TEMPERATURE OXIDATION OF BERYLLIDES. Quarterly Progress Report, September 1, 1961-March 1, 1962

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4829416
Oxidation characteristics of ZrBe/sub 13/, Zr/sub 2/Be/sub 17/, NbBe/sub 12/ and Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 17/ were studied at temperatures between 1200 and 2000 deg F. Accelerated attack was observed in this temperature range compared with the neighboring temperatures. Thick white oxide coatings were produced, and the reaction was sometimes accompanied by metallic disintegration. X-ray diffraction and metallography were used to study the products and manifestations of oxidation, and thermogravimetric curves are presented for ZrBe/sub 13/ and Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 17/. (auth)
