Casting Large Beryllium Ingots.

摘要

Beryllium casting is a relatively new technology with the successful cast of large ingots being developed during the last decade. In 1961,Rocky Flats initiated a beryllium ingot-sheet fabrication process that included the development of new techniques to consistently cast large sound beryllium ingots. This report reviews the casting technology that was developed to cast these beryllium ingots on a production basis along with some of the remaining technical problems requiring additional development work.
