Evaluation of Continuous-Cast Steel for Projectile Bodies
Abstract
A quantity of 105-mm M1 projectile bodies was made from continuous- cast steel to determine the suitability of this steel for manufacture of 105-mm projectile bodies. The hot cup-cold draw forming process was used to evaluate both hot and cold forming characteristics. A metallurgical evaluation of this steel was also performed. Continuous-cast steel with a reduction in area of at least 4:1 was determined to be suitable for manufacture of projectile bodies.
