Development and Operation of 8 Inch Laboratory ESR Furnace at Watervliet Arsenal.

Abstract

This report is an evaluation of a contractor furnace (ESR) for use in laboratory experiments in melting solid and hollow ingots. The report describes the condition of the furnace as installed, the problems encountered together with the design changes made in-house to correct the existing deficiencies. The report also indicates the technical areas that must be explored to fully develop a hollow ingot technology.
