Moisture seal for a composite propellant body for a depleted uranium arrow projectile

摘要

Coating composite material sabot parts (22) for reducing depleted uranium corrosion and sealing the surface of a machined composite sabot commences with cleaning the composite material sabot parts (22). Rinsing the composite material sabot parts (204), drying the machined composite sabot (206), and wiping the composite material sabot parts with a solvent (208) follows cleaning. A moisture resistant insulator film (100) is applied on the composite material sabot parts (22). Excess material is abrasively removed (404) and additional coats are applied (216). The parts (22) are wiped with a solvent between coats (214).
