Evaluation of 155MM M199 Tube Forging Producers

Abstract

Two 155mm M199 howitzer tube forgings, produced by different vendors, were destructively tested to determine the quality of each vendor's forgings. Vendor A's forging did not meet military specifications in all cases; several RA values were below specification. Vendor B's forging was found to be acceptable, exceeding the requirements of the specifications in all cases.
