Definitions

  • This invention refers to cartridge cases, and more especially to cartridge cases provided with a nonmetallic surface.
  • a. new way to overcome said difficulties consists in providing suitable layers of separation between the cartridge case and the wall of the barrel, said layers excluding metallic contact beg5 tween these two parts even when they are in a highly heated condition.
  • Such layers of separation may consist, for instance, of oxides or mixtures of oxides that have been produced upon the cartridge itself by artificial means.
  • the melting point of the layer of separation 3 shan be higher than that of at least one metal component of the alloy that might be formed on welding of the cartridge case and the wall of the barrel. The best results are achieved when the layer of separation is articiallyformed from S5 the basic material of the cartridge caseitself.
  • A' uniform aluminum oxide layer of a high melting point as it is artificially produced upon the aluminum by oxidation is an especially suitable layer of separation for preventing the Welding together as well as the formation of an alloy between the highly heated metals; thereby the danger of the 58 According to the electrolytic method the ox-V cartridge case becoming welded together with.
  • idation' may be carried out, for instance, in a simple and convenient manner in sulfuric acid or oxalic acid solution by means of alternating or direct current.
  • baths of this type for carrying out the oxidation is not necessary; for, other electrolytic baths that are suitable to produce oxide layers on aluminum by means of direct or alternating current may be employed likewise.
  • cartridge cases made of superficially oxl idized aluminum have the further' advantage that they possess a hard and smooth surface and hence, do not corrode even on storing the same in a moist atmosphere.
  • cartridge cases enable proper Working of the firearms under all conditions in contrast with cartridge cases of brass on the surface of which on storing in a moist atmosphere verdigris and the like is formed, so causing their diameter to become enlarged over the admissible tolerance on account of the larger volume of the verdigris so that the charging of the firearm is impeded or other disturbances may take place.
  • the use of aluminum for cartridge cases means a considerable saving in weight.
  • oxidic layer of separation on aluminum c-artridge cases there may be used layers composed of other material, such as a fluoride or phosphate or the like layer.
  • a cartridge case comprising an aluminum containing case adapted for use in a gun barrel and an aluminum oxide layer thereon, said layer produced by electrolytic oxidation of said aluminum cartridge case, said layer being integral with said case,fwhereby fusion of said case and welding to said gun barrel in the firing of cartridges is prevented even under conditions of high temperatures;
  • a cartridge case comprising an aluminum containing case adapted for use in a gun barrel and an aluminum oxide layer thereon, said layer being produced by electrolytic oxidation of said aluminum cartridge case by means of a sulphuric acid bath, said layer being integral with said case, whereby fusion of said case and welding to said gun barrel in the ring of cartridges is prevented under conditions of high temperatures.
  • a cartridge case comprising an aluminum containing case adapted for use in a gun barrel and a layer thereon, said layer selected from the group of materials consisting of articially produced aluminum oxide, aluminum uoride and aluminum phosphate, said layer being integral with said case, whereby fustion of said case and Welding to said gun barrel in the firing of cartridges is prevented even under conditions of high temperatures, the thickness of said oxide layer being considerably greater than that formed by natural atmospheric oxidation of aluminum.
  • a cartridge case comprising a case consisting of an aluminum alloy adapted for use in'a gun barrel, and a layer thereon, selected fromY the group of materials consisting of artificially produced aluminum oxide, aluminum iiuoride and aluminum phosphate, said layer being integral with said case, whereby fusion of said case and welding to said gun "barrel in the firing of cartridges is prevented even under conditions of high temperatures, the thickness of said oxide layer being considerably greater than that formed by natural atmospheric oxidation of aluminum.
  • a cartridge case comprising a case consisting essentially of aluminum and adapted for use in a gun barrel and a firmly adherent surface layer of an aluminum compound thereon, said surface layer excluding a. welding of the cartridge case and the barrel wall of firearms, having a high melting point and being artificially produced from the material of the cartridge case by 'reaction with suitable substances to provide a layer taken from the class consisting of oxide, fluoride and phosphate.
  • a cartridge case comprising a case consisting essentially of aluminum and adapted for use in a gun barrel and a rmly adherent surface layer of an aluminum compound thereon, said surface layer excluding a welding of the cartridge case and the barrel wall of firearms, having a high melting point, comprising aluminum oxide and being artificially produced from the material of the cartridge case by reaction with suitable substances to provide a layer taken from the class consisting of oxide, iiuoride and phosphate.
  • a cartridge case adapted for use in a gun f barrel comprising an aluminum containing case and a layer containing aluminum oxide thereon, said layer being artificially produced from the material of the cartridge case, being integral therewith and having a thickness of 0.1 to 30 a, whereby fusion of said case and welding to said gun barrel in the firing of cartridges is prevented even under conditions of high temperatures, the thickness of said oxide layer being considerably greater than that formed by natural atmospheric oxidation of aluminum.l
