Popis: To increase the service life of large caliber naval guns, several technologies were evaluated by the Office of Naval Research for their ability to apply a refractory metal bore surface that would survive the severe thermal, chemical and mechanical environment. These technologies were evaluated using gun firing tests designed to produce a bore surface condition that replicated the intended application. Tests were conducted in 45 mm, 76 mm and 155 mm scale with rapid fire conditions evaluated at both 76 mm and 155 mm scale. Where possible the results have been compared to a chrome plated sample subjected to the same firing conditions.
