Status of MC3866 Ring Cutter Development

摘要

Development status of the MC3866 ring cutter is presented. The device has been shown to meet requirements of cutting, low shock transmission and timing. Sixteen successful next-assembly tests have been performed. Grain orientation of the metal parts has been defined because a change in this parameter yielded unacceptable shrapnel in several laboratory tests. Design verification testing of a new lot subjected to combined environments needs to be done. 1 ref., 12 figs., 3 tabs. (ERA citation 12:005056)
