Description
La présente invention concerne un canon composite et un procédé pour sa fabrication, canon plus spécialement destiné aux armes automatiques.The present invention relates to a composite gun and a method for its manufacture, a gun more especially intended for automatic weapons.
Les armes automatiques sont des mécanismes dont les sous- ensembles et les pièces constitutives sont soumis à des contraintes de fonctionnement sévères. Il en est particulièrement ainsi des canons et tout spécialement des canons des armes utilisées à des cadences très élevées, tels que les canons des mitrailleuses. Dans ce cas, le métal du canon est sollicité mécaniquement alors qu'il est maintenu à une température relativement élevée et en tous cas supérieure à 500°C. Cette élévation de la température est due à la combustion de la poudre propulsive et aux frottements. L'énergie disponible sert principalement à mouvoir le projectile, mais une fraction non négligeable de cette énergie est transformée en chaleur qui est dissipée vers l'extérieur au travers du métal du canon qui s'échauffe fortement. En fait, les contraintes peuvent être résumées de la façon suivante :
- l'érosion et la corrosion par les gaz de combustion de la poudre propulsive;
- la fatigue thermique due aux sollicitations mécaniques répétées à température élevée;
- la friction provoquée par le passage du projectile qui, partant d'une vitesse nulle, acquiert une vitesse de plusieurs centaines de m/sec. en une milliseconde;
- une pression interne de plusieurs milliers de bars qui induit dans le canon des tensions mécaniques importantes mais de courte durée.
- erosion and corrosion by the combustion gases of the propellant powder;
- thermal fatigue due to repeated mechanical stresses at high temperature;
- the friction caused by the passage of the projectile which, starting from a zero speed, acquires a speed of several hundred m / sec. in a millisecond;
- an internal pressure of several thousand bars which induces in the gun significant mechanical tensions but of short duration.
Ces phénomènes sont bien connus des spécialistes et ils ont tenté par divers moyens de trouver des solutions à ce problème complexe, car si les aciers alliés (matériaux généralement utilisés pour la confection des canons) permettent aux armes de fonctionner correctement à des cadences relativement faibles, ils n'autorisent pas l'application de cadences élevées pendant un laps de temps raisonnable. Il en découle que la vie d'un canon en acier utilisé à des cadences élevées est relativement brève. On peut donc dire qu'il existe un besoin réel de disposer d'un canon permettant le tir à cadences élevées avec une durée de vie acceptable dans ces conditions. Ce canon devrait en fait présenter les caractéristiques suivantes :
- une résistance mécanique élevée à température ambiante et à 900°C;
- une bonne résilience jusqu'à -60°C;
- un coefficient de frottement faible vis-à-vis des matériaux utilisés comme enveloppe des projectiles même à des tem- pératures de l'ordre de 1000°C;
- une résistance appréciable à la corrosion par les gaz de combustion des poudres propulsives;
- une faible susceptibilité à la fatigue thermique;
- une conductivité thermique importante;
- high mechanical strength at room temperature and 900 ° C;
- good resilience down to -60 ° C;
- a low coefficient of friction vis-à-vis the materials used as projectile casings even at temperatures - of the order of 1000 ° C;
- appreciable resistance to corrosion by the gases of propellant powders;
- low susceptibility to thermal fatigue;
- high thermal conductivity;
Le but de l'invention est de fournir un tel canon. Celui- ci est constitué, conformément à l'invention, de trois couches superposées sans solutions de continuité, à savoir : une couche interne en un matériau réfractaire; une couche médiane d'un matériau dont la résistance mécanique est supérieure à environ 250 MPa à 900°C et une couche externe en un acier allié.The object of the invention is to provide such a cannon. This consists, in accordance with the invention, of three superimposed layers without solutions of continuity, namely: an internal layer made of a refractory material; a middle layer of a material whose mechanical strength is greater than about 250 MPa at 900 ° C and an outer layer of alloy steel.
Des matériaux convenant à la réalisation d'un tel canon sont par exemple :
- - pour la couche interne, le chrome, le tungstène, le niobium, le carbure de tungstène et similaires ou des alliages de ceux-ci;
- - pour la couche médiane, des alliages à base de cobalt tels qu'utilisés entre autres dans la construction des turbo-réacteurs;
- - pour la couche externe, des aciers alliés, par exemple au chrome-molybdène d'un usinage relativement aisé.
- - for the inner layer, chromium, tungsten, niobium, tungsten carbide and the like or alloys thereof;
- - for the middle layer, cobalt-based alloys as used inter alia in the construction of turbo-reactors;
- - For the outer layer, alloy steels, for example chromium-molybdenum of relatively easy machining.
L'absence de solutions de continuité est essentielle, sans quoi existeraient des points chauds conduisant à des destructions prématurées. Des essais ont démontré que la superposition de couches tubulaires par frettage ou assemblage mécanique laissait apparaître des discontinuités d'épaisseur, malgré toutes les précautions prises pour les éviter. Or, une discontinuité d'épaisseur inférieure à 0,01 mm est suffisante pour créer un point chaud et conduire à une destruction prématurée.The absence of continuity solutions is essential, without which there would be hot spots leading to premature destruction. Tests have shown that the superimposition of tubular layers by shrinking or mechanical assembly reveals thickness discontinuities, despite all the precautions taken to avoid them. However, a discontinuity of thickness less than 0.01 mm is sufficient to create a hot spot and lead to premature destruction.
Un procédé satisfaisant consiste, conformément à l'invention, à enfiler trois tubes, destinés chacun à former l'une des couches susdites, et à les co-marteler sur mandrin jusqu'à disparition de toute solution de continuité entre lesdits tubes.A satisfactory process consists, in accordance with the in vention, to thread three tubes, each intended to form one of the abovementioned layers, and to co-hammer them on the mandrel until all solution of continuity between said tubes disappears.
L'absence de solutions de continuité peut facilement être vérifiée par examen au microscope de coupes longitudinales ou radiales du canon. Cependant, cette méthode destructive ne s'applique pas au contrôle de la fabrication. Dans ce cas, les examens sont réalisés par radiographie ou radioscopie ou encore par les techniques ultra-soniques.The absence of continuity solutions can easily be verified by microscopic examination of longitudinal or radial sections of the barrel. However, this destructive method does not apply to manufacturing control. In this case, the examinations are carried out by radiography or radioscopy or by ultrasonic techniques.
Comme la couche interne, compte tenu de sa raison d'être, peut être relativement mince, c'est-à-dire avoir une épaisseur inférieure au millimètre, une variante du procédé selon l'invention consiste à co-marteler les couches externe et médiane, puis à réaliser ensuite la couche interne par cémentation, dépôt en phase gazeuse, vaporisation sous vide ou électrodéposition, en prenant toutes précautions pour obtenir une adhérence parfaite, c'est-à-dire pour éviter toute solution de continuité.As the internal layer, given its raison d'être, can be relatively thin, that is to say have a thickness less than a millimeter, a variant of the method according to the invention consists in co-hammering the external layers and median, then to realize then the internal layer by carburizing, deposition in gas phase, vaporization under vacuum or electrodeposition, by taking all precautions to obtain a perfect adhesion, that is to say to avoid any solution of continuity.
Quelle que soit la variante adoptée, on utilisera avantageusement un mandrin rayé pour le co-martelage, ce qui permet d'obtenir une ébauche rayée et réduit de ce fait les coûts de fabrication.Whichever variant is adopted, a striped mandrel will advantageously be used for co-hammering, which makes it possible to obtain a striped blank and thereby reduces the manufacturing costs.
Afin d'illustrer l'invention sans toutefois la réduire à un seul cas, l'exemple suivant peut être donné : un canon de mitrailleuse de calibre 7,62 mm a été réalisé par co-martelage de deux tubes constitués pour le tube interne d'un alliage à base de cobalt similaire à ceux utilisés dans la construction des turbo-réacteurs et pour le tube externe d'un acier allié au Cr-Mo.In order to illustrate the invention without, however, reducing it to a single case, the following example can be given: a 7.62 mm caliber machine gun barrel was produced by co-hammering two tubes made for the inner tube d '' a cobalt-based alloy similar to those used in the construction of turbo-reactors and for the outer tube of a steel alloyed with Cr-Mo.
L'opération a été menée sur un mandrin rayé en matériau dur et a donné une ébauche de canon rayée. Grâce à un choix judicieux des paramètres de martelage, le composite obtenu était exempt de solutions de continuité. L'âme de l'ébauche a alors été chromée dans des conditions susceptibles de donner un revêtement dont l'adhérence était parfaite. Après usinage de l'extérieur de l'ébauche, le canon obtenu a été soumis à un tir de résistance et comparé à un canon absolument semblable sur le plan dimensionnel mais réalisé complètement dans le même acier allié au Cr-Mo que celui utilisé pour la couche externe du composite. Ce canon avait reçu un revêtement interne de chrome réalisé par une technique conventionnelleThe operation was carried out on a striped mandrel made of hard material and produced a striped barrel blank. Through a choice judicious hammering parameters, the composite obtained was free of continuity solutions. The core of the blank was then chrome-plated under conditions capable of giving a coating whose adhesion was perfect. After machining the outside of the blank, the barrel obtained was subjected to a resistance shot and compared to a barrel absolutely similar in dimensional terms but completely made of the same steel alloyed with Cr-Mo as that used for the outer layer of the composite. This gun had received an internal coating of chrome produced by a conventional technique
L'essai a démontré que la vie du canon composite déterminée sur la base d'un critère de précision de tir, était trois fois plus élevée que celle du canon conventionnel.The test demonstrated that the life of the composite gun, determined on the basis of a firing accuracy criterion, was three times higher than that of the conventional gun.
