Alternate Production Processes for Fuze Pinions
Abstract
A study was conducted of possible methods for producing small pinions that would not involve use of imported machinery or scarce skills. Four methods were identified: zinc die casting, plastic molding, powder compaction, and chemical etching/diffusion bonding. All processes are probably economically competitive, but each has some limitations, which are outlined. Additional recommendations of a more general nature are included.
