Study made of pneumatic high pressure piping materials /10,000 psi/

Evaluations of five types of steel for use in high pressure pneumatic piping systems include tests for impact strength, tensile and yield strengths, elongation and reduction in area, field weldability, and cost. One type, AISI 4615, was selected as most advantageous for extensive use in future flight vehicles.

Momentum Transfer and Cratering Phenomena Associated With the Impact of Aluminum Spheres Into Thick Aluminum Targets at Velocities to 24,000 Feet Per Second

Spheres of 2017-T4 aluminum with diameters of, 1/16, 1/8, and ½ inch were launched into semi-infinite targets of 2024-T4 and 1100-0 aluminum. The momentum transfer during impact was measured by means of a simple ballistic pendulum to which the target was attached. The ratio of target momentum to projectile momentum increased with increasing projectile velocity and with projectile diameter. Mass loss due to cratering, penetration, and crater diameter were also obtained for these experiments. It was noted that the variation of these parameters was also a function of the projectile diameter. No conclusive evidence was uncovered to explain this apparent scale effect. However, close examination of the various craters suggests that the cratering process is, in fact, different for the different size projectiles. The cause for this difference has yet to be resolved.
