Crystallographic orientation of columnar grains in cast beryllium

Journal Article · · Metallography; (United States)
The orientation distribution of the ''C''-axes with respect to the columnar, or growth, axes of columnar grains in large beryllium castings has been measured by an optical technique. The distribution is nearly random, with a small tendency for the ''C''-axes to be perpendicular to the growth axis. The distribution of angles between the ''C''-axes of adjacent grains is nonrandom; small angle boundaries are favored and there is some indication of the existence of growth twins.
