Summary

A commercial method for the preparation of very pure beryllium carbide in quantities up to 140 pounds per run is described herein. This process, utilizing the reactions between --200 mesh beryllium powder and --325 mesh ink-grade graphite powder is carried out preferably in graphite dies under small mechanical pressures at a temperature in the neighborhood of 1000©�C. The effect of variables such as stoichiometry, temperature of reaction, beryllium powder particle size and materials of construction are discussed.
