MK 18 MOD O Explosive Actuator Design Modification.
Abstract
The MK 18 MOD O Explosive Actuator has included seal configurations designed to be soldered to provide a hermetic seal at both the input and output ends. This requires strict process controls in preparation of the components for soldering, and of the soldering operation. To reduce unit cost and improve producibility HTL/Energy Systems modified the design to incorporate welded stainless steel discs over both ends. This eliminated processing operations and significantly reduced the cost of the input closure by replacing a machined component with a stamped disc. An initial group of twenty (20) inert units was produced for destructive evaluation at NSWC of the weld joints attaching the closure discs. These evaluations yielded satisfactory results.
