DEVELOPMENT AND UTILIZATION OF OPTIMUM TECHNIQUES FOR THE FABRICATION OF TITANIUM BORONITRIDE ROCKET NOZZLES.

Abstract

Two Techniques were used to produce all of the test specimens and rocket nozzle inserts as required by the contract. All the test specimens, the HTB-2 and three of the HTB-3 rocket nozzle inserts were made by the conventional method in accordance with specifications. A proprietary method involving core heating was used to produce nine of the one-in. throat diameter HTB-3 rocket nozzle inserts and ten of the two-in. throat diameter HTB-4 nozzles in accordance with specifications. With the latter method which initially demonstrated the feasibility of the concept and subsequently involved a scale up of the operation, the appropriate apparatus was designed, constructed and placed into operation.
