A process for production of pure Be/sub 2/C by using the re action between beryllium and graphite powders at about 1000 deg C described. The effects of variables such as stoichiometry, reaction temperature, beryllium- powder particle size, and process-apparatus construction materials are discussed. (J.R.D.
