SURVEY OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFORMATION CHARACTERISTICS OF BERYLLIUM, THE REFRACTORY METALS, AND THE SUPERALLOYS.

Abstract : The report covers the following subjects: theory of plasticity, high-velocity forming, work-hardening mechanisms in metals, shear forming and spinning of metals, friction and wear in metal-deformation processes, rod, wire, and tube drawing, and applications of static high pressure to the forming of metals - hydrostatic extrusion.
