PRODUCTION ENGINEERING OF METAL AND OTHER INERT PARTS FOR M30 ROCKET MOTOR FOR NIKE HERCULES MISSILE
Abstract
It was recommended that the hydrostatic test time requirement be reduced to the time required for the hydrostatic pressure to stabilize at 900 psi. Of the blast tube insulating materials tested with a small scale rocket motor, an asbestosphenolic material was chosen for full scale testing. Various organic solvents including methylene chloride, and chloroform indicated there would be no difficulty in removing the polysulfide rubber liner; this would allow the reclaiming of metal parts after static firing, Susceptibility of metal motor parts to corrosion was determined and a number of refractory coatings were found protective. Tests were conducted on a loaded motor in low temperature environment to determine the rate of grain temperature change and the time that the rocket can be exposed to extreme temperatures without falling below the specified firing or storage temperature limits.
