Study of the mechanical properties of beryllium

  • Published:
Soviet Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

Thanks to its high strength density ratio and good nucIear properties, beryllium is attracting increased attention from scientists as a construction material for use in aviation, rocket, and atomic technology. We here describe methods for mechanical (tensile and compression) tests in vacuum on beryllium and set out results for beryllium prepared by metal.powder and casting methods, measured at 20 to 1000° C.
