M804, 155 mm Cast Training Projectile Body
Abstract
The M504, 155 mm projectile body is presently forged in steel. This program explores the possibility of using casting methods for producing the bodies and resulting in excellent cost savings. Inspection and testing during this phase of the program indicates that casting the bodies in ductile is a viable method of manufacture. Additional testing during the next phase is expected to result in type classification of cast ductile iron bodies for the M804 training projectile. Keywords: Metal parts; Casting; M804 projectile; Reduce cost; MMT (Manufacturing Methods and Technology).
