DEVELOPMENT OF DUCTILE BERYLLIUM COMPOSITES

Abstract

Progress is reported on the development of ductile Be composites consisting of Be paticles in a ductile matrix. The vacuum chamber is now in operation. This chamber will permit pressure liquid-phase sintering in vacuum. It is hoped that this will answer the porosity problem. Tensile tests and hardness evaluations of heat-treated binay alloys spanning the Ag-Al system indicate that the correct matrix can be found which satisfies the stength and ductility requirements for the attainment of ductile beryllium composites.
