PROGRAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXTRUDED BERYLLIUM SHAPES
Abstract
Successful completion of Phase I extruding development demonstrated techniques by which aircraft structural shapes can be extruded from pure beryllium. Pilot production of five 20-ft lengths of a 0.12-x1.0-x1.5-in. structural channel proved acceptability and reproducibility of the developed processdimensional integrity and surface quality, consistent freedom from defects, and high strength with relatively high ductility were achieved in pilot production. The prime contributing factor to this success was the change of technical approach from the Sejournet glass lubrication system to Nuclear Metals newly developed refinement of the canned or clad technique designated composite lubricant system.
