Coatings Evaluation Using a Vented Combustor

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA397759 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Characterization of protective coatings in their development stages is a costly process. This report will focus on an experimental, economic, subscale method used to compare the suitability of several candidate gun tube bore coatings. The report addresses a methodology to effectively evaluate coatings in the environment of a vented combustor. Although the discussion is specific to damage caused by propellant combustion, the test procedure can be used to discern the integrity of protective coatings used in applications other than armament systems.
