Download or read book Fused on Rotating Bands for Projectiles written by and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this work was to determine the feasibility of a new idea for applying rotating bands to projectiles. The idea is the in-situ fusion of the rotating band material in a graphite crucible fitted around the projectile. Various heating and shielding methods were explored. It was found that several materials could be successfully deposited using induction or furnace heating in an Argon atmosphere. Metallographic studies and post- application, heat treating studies were carried out. Several bands 'fused on' 30 mm projectiles were successfully fired through a 30 mm cannon.

Book excerpt: A new in-situ method for applying 'fused on' rotating bands to projectiles has been demonstrated. U.S. Patent No. 3,888,295 of 10 June 1975, has been granted on the method. The new method produces bands which are completely bonded to the projectile wall.

Book excerpt: Rotating or driving bands are bands relatively soft materials surrounding a projectile. They have a number of functions the chief of which is probably that they produce stabilizing rotating of the projectile when they are engraved or keyed into the rifling. These bands are used on spin-stabilized projectiles as small as 20 mm caliber, but this discussion concerns especially the larger cannon, i.e., in excess of 105 mm. Excess wear of projectile rotating bands has a number of important negative consequences including inaccuracy and short rounds. There are two distinctly different mechanisms of wear. At low speeds near the beginning of motion, wear is by adhesion, abrasion, and even under some conditions, scuffing. After a few centimeters of sliding, a thin surface film of molten band material is formed and the remainder of the sliding is melt-lubricated. While metal-on-metal sliding is limited to the first few centimeters, it is very important and can result in serious wear problems down bore. The exact wear of rotating bands depends on the motion of the projectile in the bore of the cannon. Therefore, this motion can be inferred from the wear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This includes the investigation of plastic rotating bands fabricated directly to steel projectiles by laminating, casting, fluid bed coating, injection and compression molding. The successful method was to injection mold nylon 12 over a clean and primed projectile seat and then to heat the primed interface to a melt temperature by induction heating the projectile.

Download or read book Friction of Rotating Band Material During Engraving and Initial Projectile Travel written by R. S. Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sliding characteristics and coefficients of friction of rotating band and potential rotating band material on steel were studied in the laboratory at velocities corresponding with projectile velocities near the origin-of-rifling. The band materials investigated were gilding metal, 7075 aluminum alloy, AZ61A magnesium alloy, sintered iron, soft iron, nylon 6-6, and vulcanized fiber. It is possible to draw a number of conclusions and make a number of conjectures about the engraving and initial travel of cannon projectiles from the results of this study. A comparison of the different sliding characteristics and laboratory friction coefficients provides insight into the behavior of projectiles and will help to allow the design of rotating bands without the expensive extensive firing of an actual cannon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3-in./70 projectiles of various types, fitted with gilding metal rotating bands, have been observed to exhibit serious band wear; that is, partial or complete obliteration of the engraving of the bands recovered after firing. It was desired to investigate the effect of replacing the gilding metal with soft iron, in order to determine the results of using a material with a considerably increased melting point, and if this change would produce a band which did not fail, to determine the effect upon gun performance.
