Elimination of Chromium Electrodeposition from Large Caliber Launch Systems
Abstract
Summary: Cylindrical Magnetron Sputtering is a viable alternative to electrodeposition. Cylindrical Magnetron Sputtering results encouraging for large caliber systems: Increased adhesion and bulk properties, All laboratory metrics achieved (still improving deposition rate). Current 120mm XM36 tests should be insightful. Large Caliber Full-length Pre-Production Platform Initial Testing by Sep 2004. Will one coating technology address all platforms ??? Large Cal vs. Med Cal, Autofrettaged vs. Non-Autofrettaged, Smoothbore vs. Rifled bore.
