REVIEW OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TECHNOLOGY OF BERYLLIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4842555
Reports and articles on the technology of beryllium received by DMIC during May, June, and July, 1961 are reviewed. It was found that a fast cooling rate is necessary for producing fine-grained, sound, cast beryllium ingots. An effect from impurities on the critical resolved shear stress for beryllium was shown to exist. Studies were made of surface damage and mechanical properties of beryllium. The effects of water vapor on corrosion by carbon dioxide were determined. Analysis showed thnt the reaction products were BeO and Be2C. (M.C.G.)
