EFFECTS OF THERMO-MECHANICAL VARIABLES ON THE TEXTURE AND BEND DUCTILITY OF HIGH PURITY BERYLLIUM SHEET.

Abstract

Progress is reported on an investigation to determine the effects on beryllium sheet prop erties (texture, bend, ductility, and strength) of the use of high purity material and deforma tion procedures which minimize basal plane texturing. The material chosen was the highest purity powder available commercially in reason able quantities (SR Pechiney). The deformation procedures chosen are hot upsetting, hot forg ing, and comon rolling. The objective of this program is to attain beryllium sheet with good bend ductility combined with useful strength properties by means of heat treatment, the control of basal plane texture, and the use of high purity and fine grain size (established by the use of powder) material.
