ORIENTATION OF CAST BERYLLIUM

Journal Article · · Trans. Met. Soc. AIME
OSTI ID:4836758
The texture method (utilizing monochromatic copper radiation) was applied to determine the orientation of the columnar grains of two vacuum-cast Be ingots 3 in. in diameter. The Debye pattern was compared with theoretical patterns for various orientations. No significant preference for the direction of columnar growth is indicated. It is considered that the lack of a preferred orientation is because of the occurrence of the phase transformation which masked the original solidification orientation. (L.T.W.)
