A NOTE ON SWEDISH ADDITIVE

Abstract

Substances such as titanium dioxide, in a finely powdered state, placed around the propellant in a gun charge, markedly reduce the wear of the gun. This note sketches a theory on one possible mode of action of the additive, the theory that it af fects the transmission of heat from the main gas stream across the boundary layer to the bore surface.
