Coatings and Surface Treatments for Missile and Gun Components.

This program was initiated to investigate a wide variety of marine coatings and surface treatments for missile and gun components and to determine optimum treatments and coatings for protection against marine environments. An extensive literature survey was conducted of the available technology developed primarily in the past decade, including application processes and equipment, surface preparation and primers, and coating materials having chemical and physical properties especially suited to withstand the particular environments.
