FABRICATION OF A 65.5-INCH-DIAMETER SIMULATED ROCKET MOTOR CASE BY CRYOGENIC STRETCH-FORMING
Abstract
The program objectives are to demonstrate the applicability of the cryogenic stretch-forming process to the fabrication of large rocket motor cases of heavy wall thickness. Previous work has shown the feasibility of fabricating high strength rocket cases by cryogenic stretch-forming. Effort under the present contract is directed at 'scaling up' the equipment and techniques to handle the size and wall thickness of a big-boost motor.
