MOTOR CASE FABRICATION FROM WIDE CLOSE-TOLERANCE STEEL SHEETS

Abstract

Six missile motor cases of the second stage Nike-Zeus configuration were manufactured by roll-and-weld fabrication methods. In these cases the processing technique of resistance seam welding heat treated components was employed. All six satisfactorily met the proof test at a theoretical hoop stress of 237,000 psi.
