Proceedings of the Interservice Technical Meeting on Gun Tube Erosion and Control held 25-26 February 1970

Abstract

The principal aspects of erosion which were considered during the course of this meeting were description of eroded bores, influence of erosion on the accuracy and life of gun tubes, erosion vs fatigue in various cannon tubes, erosiveness of propellants, physical chemistry of erosion, metallurgical aspects of erosion, thermal checking - its nature and effects, techniques of studying gun erosion, effect of rotating bands on the tube erosion, erosion resistant coatings, new concepts in material applications to gun tubes, new concepts in propellants, and new concepts in tube design.
