Protective Finishes for Cannon Tube Bore Evacuator Surfaces
Abstract
This report presents a series of protective finishes that were evaluated for production use on the M68 cannon tube. The purpose of these protective finishes is to prevent corrosion on the tube surface beneath the bore evacuator, which is subjected to relatively high temperatures. Following the initial evaluation phase, finishes that would adversely affect producibility were eliminated and select finishes were subjected to salt spray testing to determine relative resistance to corrosion.
