Description
Thin-layer activation as a method of measuring erosive wear in gun barrels due to hot propellant gases has been applied to a large-caliber Howitzer. Three spots on the lands of a 105 mm barrel were activated during the 56Fe(p, n)56Co reaction. The instrumentation, the reproducibility and accuracy of the method as well as results on the erosivity of propellants are discussed. (orig.)
