THE EFFECT OF SURFACE DECARBURIZATION ON PROTOTYPE MISSILE CASES
Abstract
Progress is reported on the fabrication and hydrotesting of each of three types of decarburized prototype cases, namely: MBMC 1 and Super Tricent steel welded cases, Super Tricent seamless cases, and Super Tricent seamless cases with bonded end rings. Test results of MBMC 1 welded seam cases tabulated and graphically illustrated are shown to correlate with the laboratory specimen data gathered during the 1961 decarburization study. Also, test results of bonded uniaxial and biaxial stress specimens are given which indicate that the target bonded joint strength of 15,000 pounds per peripheral inch (3750 psi) established for the prototype bonded end ring case can be achieved.
