Abstract

The US Army is currently investigating the use of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) for use as liners for gun barrels. This environment has severe temperature extremes, aggressive propellant gases, and large pressure fluctuations. Candidate materials to be investigated are two compositions of WC-Co deposited by the High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) process. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance and advantages of using FGM (ceramic-to-metal) liners for gun barrels. This evaluation will involve microstructural and thermal characterization of the FGMs as a function of tribological and thermal fatigue tests in order to determine feasibility for this application.
