Abstract
Totally isotropic beryllium materials are first obtained by isostatic pressing of atomised powders having spherically shaped particles. The processing parameters for different size fractions of the spherical powder are optimised by the use of a mathematical model of beryllium compaction, developed by the authors taking due account of the different mechanisms of pressurised sintering and hot isostatic pressing. All round studies of the beryllium materials have been made to determine their structure, and physicomechanical and special properties. Isotropic beryllium made from atomised powders is promising for applications in the instrument making industry, metal optics, and space engineering. PM/0644
