The Corrosion of Hot-Pressed, Extruded, and Vacuum Cast Beryllium in Simulated Cooling Water for the Materials Testing Reactor

Description: Technical report covering the technology of hot-pressed beryllium production and its rapid advancement toward the end of 1949. Part I is devoted to corrosion studies made on hot-pressed and vacuum cast extruded metal which was considered representative of production. Part II is concerned with the results of tests made on special cast and hot-pressed beryllium which contained added impurities. [From Introduction]

The Vapor Pressure of Beryllium Fluoride

Description: Abstract: "Vapor pressures of BeF2 were measured over the temperature range of 746-968 using the transpiration method. The extrapolated boiling point is shown to be 1159[degrees]. The melting point is about 803[degrees]."

Preparation and Examination of Beryllium Carbide

Description: From abstract: "The properties of beryllium carbide were studied to determine its suitability as a high-temperature refractory. Various methods of preparing it were tried and a number of the physical and chemical properties of the resulting products were determined."

Cross Section for the Formation of Be⁷ from Oxygen Irradiated with High Energy Deuterons

Description: Abstract: "The cross section for the formation of Be⁷ from oxygen irradiated with high energy deuterons has been determined. The values are 4.5 millibarns at 100 Mev, 5.6 millibarns at 150 Mev, and 5.5 millibarns at 190 Mev."

Corrosion of Aluminum and Beryllium by MTR Canal Water

Description: Introduction: "In the early operation of the WTR severe canal corrosion of dummy fuel assemblies and a beryllium A-piece caused a great deal of concern as to the possible effects of long-time canal storage on such elements. A short-term experimental program was started to determine the causes of this corrosion and to correct them before any irradiated fuel elements had to be stored in the canal. The results of this program are presented here."
