The Development of Contoured Interlocking Tape Wound Titanium Rocket Motor Cases. Part 1. Design, Metallurgy and Experimental Fabrication.

Abstract

The development of pressure vessels for use in solid fuel rocket motor cases has reached a state wherein further progress may be restricted by lack of suitable high strength metals and limitations in methods of fabrication. Though the potentially high strength to weight ratio of fiber reinforced cases is recognized, the use of metallic cases offers certain advantages peculiar to metals alone. The objectives of the present contract consisted primarily of the development of fabrication and metallurgical procedures for the manufacture of two basic structural shapes, the development of a wrapping machine and finally the experimental manufacture of two sub-scale vessels. These objectives have been met. (MM)
