Electron-beam fusion welding of beryllium

“…The room-temperature ductility of Material B increased, while that of Materials A and C decreased following heat treatment, as shown in Figure 13. The ductility of ingot-sheet Be typically increases following annealing heat treatment (18,20). The anomalous behavior for materials A and C may have resulted from the increase in grain size with heat treatment.…”
