DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHTWEIGHT CASE DESIGN FOR SOLPELLANT ROCKET MOTORS.
Abstract
The feasibility of manufacturing a light weight, high strength rocket case from a single forging is reported. Included is the design and stress conditions of the case, as well as a detailed discussion of the metallurgical study resulting in the selection of an alloy capable of 0.2% minimum yield at 275,000 psi and at least a million to one strength to density ratio. The techniques and processes used in manufacturing the case are described and analyzed and recom mendations for the direction of future work are made. Hardware details, trial results and conclusions are supported by pertinent data. (Author)
