The Examination of Five M-54 Motor Cases that Failed Acceptance Tests.

Abstract

Five M-54 rocket motor cases that had failed force cone acceptance tests were analyzed for cause of failure. Tensile properties and surface finish were measured and chemical and metallographical analyses were performed. All failures were related to agglomeration of Al-Cr-Fe compound particles.
