The tri-service gun tube wear and erosion symposium 1982

Description

Proceedings of symposium. 25-27 October 1982. – 565 p.This volume consists of reprints of the technical papers presented at the Tri-Service Gun Tube Wear and Erosion Symposium, held at Picatinny Arsenal, Dover, New Jersey, on October 25-27, 1982, but was updated to reflect the current findings. It was the second Tri-Service Symposium hosted at the Army Armament Research and Development Command (ARRADCOM). The last symposium on this subject was held at Dover, NJ, in March 1977. Therefore, it was the objective of this symposium to present an up-to-date review of the work carried out in the field of gun tube wear and erosion in the United States and foreign countries. Attention was directed to the development and application of coatings and liner materials, rotating band designs, propellant formulations, additives, modeling, and mechanisms responsible for wear and erosion. The development of a technical base for design of extended life for gun barrels was also discussed.Content: J. Lannon. U.S. Army Gun Barrel Wear and Erosion Program a Review. J.S. 0'Brasky.
