Development of High Temperature Resistant Materials of Use in Naval Ordnance.

Abstract

Work continued on the process scale-up to permit the fabrication of filament reinforced graphite composites in sizes up to 16-inch outside diameter. The vacuum chamber was constructed using stainless steel and has been received. The induction coil was fabricated and delivered the middle of May. Furnace components have been scaled-up and will be in operation before the next report period. The scale up furnace includes several desirable features not available in previous fabrication equipment. These include external filament storage to permit the observation of the filament feed system during fabrication, three view ports to permit the visual observation of the fabrication process inside the furnace and arrangements to permit the use of the equipment for subsequent production requirements. A closed water system is being installed to permit furnace operation independent of city water. Individually controlled and monitored gas and water lines in and out of the induction furnace are provided. (Author)
