Bore healing mechanism |
| 摘要 |
A device is provided for repairing erosion damage to a bore of a railgun with metal powder. The bore has a surface contour that extends longitudinally of the railgun. The device includes a housing, a profilometer sensor and a nozzle. The housing has a configuration that conforms to the surface contour and an upstream face on a longitudinal end. The profilometer sensor mounts to the upstream face to measure depth of the erosion and indicate a divot in the bore that involves repair to match the surface contour. The nozzle mounts to the upstream face to spray the metal powder from a reservoir within the housing in response to the divot indicated by the profilometer. |

1. A device for repairing erosion damage to a bore of a railgun with metal powder, said bore having a surface contour extending longitudinally of said railgun, said device comprising:
a housing having a configuration that conforms to the surface contour and an upstream face on a longitudinal end; a profilometer sensor mounted to said upstream face to measure depth of the erosion and indicate a divot in the bore that involves repair to match the surface contour; and a nozzle mounted to said upstream face to spray the metal powder from a reservoir within said housing in response to said divot indicated by said profilometer sensor. |
