Testing Chromium Adhesion Using Acoustic Emission

Abstract

The use of acoustic emission was investigated as a method of characterizing chromium adhesion on steel. The samples used in the study were cylinders cut from the muzzle end of 120 mm gun tubes, plated on the inner surface with chromium, and cut to form split rings. Acoustic emission data was taken during loading of each ring. The results of the study are inconclusive regarding the effectiveness of acoustic emission as a test method for chromium adhesion.
