PRODUCTION OF BERYLLIUM SHEETS FINISHED FLAT TO GAUGE. PHASE II. Progress Report No. 2 for February 1, 1958 to April 30, 1958
Year: 1959
Type: report
Abstract: An evaluation made of the rolling characteristics and the physical properties in sheet form of various types of sintered beryllium and a beryllium casting are described. The relation of grain size, BeO content, and basal-plane orientation to tensile properties is shown. A discussion of the effect of such rolling variables as reduction per pass and unidirectional and bidirectional reduction ratios on properties and rolling success is given. A study of pack- rolling technique, including cladding materials, parting compounds, and pack design, is described. Bare-rolling experiments, straightening technique, and characteristics of the first sheet delivered on this project are discussed. (auth)
