X-Ray Studies on the Flared Cone Component for Metal Parts Assembly M456A1E1.
Abstract
The armor penetrating ability of shaped charge liners is considered to be critically dependent upon the annular symmetry of the metallurgical properties of the cone from which the jet is formed. A critical review is given of the current x-ray inspection method for monitoring production and predicting ballistic quality of the liner. Recently developed computer aided equipment and associated mathematics is described for determining the R-value index of metal drawability as determined from automated pole figure analysis of coupons cut from the flared liner. A description is given of the shear spin process, the constraints imposed by the sine law, and the complications introduced by deviating from it.
