Metalworking ll: Extrusion

  • Chapter
Beryllium Science and Technology

Abstract

Extrusion* is the most important technique for the production of simple or complex long shapes of beryllium metal. Historically, extrusion was the earliest fabrication method for sound beryllium shapes, and for a long time it remained the only method of producing a structural material with appreciable ductility.
