181 Launch tube and a method for making a launch tube US10157469 2002-05-29 US06637309B2 2003-10-28 Samuel A. See; Goran L. F. Haag
A launch tube made using fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) includes a FRP tube having an inside wall, where the inside wall has a groove near a lower end of the tube. A bottom made of FRP is molded for engagement with the tube at the groove. After forming the tube with the groove, a mold is placed inside the tube adjacent to the groove, and resin-coated fiberglass matting is laid on the mold. A fibrous material is placed over the fiberglass matting and a nonporous bag seals the fiberglass matting. A vacuum is drawn in the bag, and atmospheric air pressure compresses the fiberglass matting, forcing it into the groove. A counter-mold can be used instead of vacuum setting to compress the fiberglass matting. A compound, such as Sheet Molding Compound (SMC), Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) or Low Pressure Molding Compound (LPMC) is applied between the mold and counter-mold presses. Pressure and temperature are applied to the mold and counter-mold to position the bottom with the tube. The bottom has a convex surface, and the convex surface and the inside wall of the tube define a chamber for receiving explosive propellants.

186 Composite tube for a gun barrel US564787 1995-11-29 US5600912A 1997-02-11 David B. Smith
A composite tube for a gun barrel and a method for making the tube are disclosed. The tube includes a plurality of elongate carbon fibers and a resin material surrounding a longitudinal bore axis. The elongate carbon fibers are aligned parallel with the longitudinal bore axis and are under compression along the longitudinal bore axis. Such a tube for a gun barrel may be made by wrapping a tubular metal liner with a resin matrix material containing a plurality of elongate carbon fibers, and aligning the carbon fibers parallel with the longitudinal axis of the liner. The resin matrix material is cured, and the elongate carbon fibers are placed under compression along the longitudinal axis of the liner. Compressing the carbon fibers along the longitudinal axis of the liner produces a tube of surprising stiffness. The tube provides a highly stable gun barrel of reduced weight for good accuracy.

188 Copper/copper alloy and graphite fiber composite and method US132472 1993-10-06 US5410796A 1995-05-02 Joseph K. Weeks, Jr.
A method for producing a composite having graphite fibers in a matrix of copper/copper alloy. The graphite fibers are coated with a refractory metal which both protects the graphite fibers from the molten copper/copper alloy while also acting as a wetting agent on the graphite fibers for intimate infiltration by the molten copper/copper alloy. The coated graphite fibers are prepared in a structure and placed against a copper/copper alloy element which is melted to produce the molten copper/copper alloy. The infiltration of the graphite fiber structure with the molten copper/copper alloy is characterized by the absence of pressure on the molten copper/copper alloy.

A motor case, including an aluminum barrel and a composite overwrap wound around the barrel to form a composite layer, which protects the operator against case failure during motor firing due to thermal effects caused by insulator defects or the like. The overwrap is formed of a fibrous material and a low temperature curable resin, the overwrap being mechanically bonded to the barrel. The method includes the steps of imparting texture to the outer surface of the barrel, wherein the textured surface includes jagged protrusions extending outwardly therefrom, wrapping an strip of fibrous material impregnated with a low temperature curable resin around the barrel, and curing the case.
191 Filament-wound venturi US117927 1987-11-04 US4843946A 1989-07-04 David H. Gladstone; Raymond Langlois; William J. Robertson
A venturi section or cone for a lightweight firearm such as a recoilles gun which is subjected to high transient pressures and temperatures on firing is formed from a resin impregnated multi-filament fiber material. The material in the form of an elongated tow is wound on a mandrel, cured, and then removed from the mandrel for subsequent operations such as machining or assembly. During manufacture, a hot gas erosion preventing layer is first formed on the mandrel and a plurality of layers of two are helically wound thereon at a helix angle selected to provide adequate axial and hoop strengths for resisting axial thrust and hoop loads produced on firing. Lightweight recoilless guns using such venturi cones are lighter and cheaper to fabricate than conventional guns and will fire more rounds before excessive erosion causes them to be unusable.

To manufacture tubes having a wear-resistant inside coating, such as gun barrels, hard material layers are deposited on the barrel and the layers are strain-hardened in their surface area by at least the ratio of the area by which the surface area is reduced by compression divided by the surface area of 0.001 (.DELTA.F/F=1.10.sup.-3) or reducing the area of the layer by 0.1%.
195 Rifled bore construction for a gun barrel US516230 1983-08-15 US4546564A 1985-10-15 Anthony A'Costa
The present invention is a further improvement on Marshall et al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,525,172. Herein it is proposed to construct the gun barrel of two sections which are threaded together. The rifled bore of the barrel is terminated at a predetermined point and the smooth bored muzzle portion is threaded into the rifled portion at the juncture point of peak pressure between the two barrel portions. The threaded areas on each of the gun barrel sections are interrupted in a manner that facilitates quick longitudinal assembly and a rotation of the barrels by 90.degree. locks the barrels together.
