Abstract
The various methods that have been employed in synthesizing beryllium carbide are critically reviewed. Since beryllium carbide is an uncommon material, its known physical and chemical properties are described.Because of its refractory nature and chemical instability in the presence of moisture, methods of fabricating beryllium carbide are definitely limited. Considerable success has, however, been achieved by hot‐pressing techniques, and by means of cold‐pressing followed by sintering under controlled conditions. Additions of graphite or of beryllium oxide to the carbide considerably facilitate fabrication.The physical properties of fabricated beryllium carbide‐base bodies are discussed in detail, and the effects of graphite or beryllium oxide additives on the properties of the bodies are disclosed.
