Abstract
A method for thermal processing bullets to yield a refined grain structure, the method includes obtaining one or more bullets, disposing the one or more bullets within a chamber having a temperature gradient between ambient temperature and cryogenic temperature, the chamber having a plurality of temperature zones, moving the one or more bullets between the plurality of temperature zones of the chamber at a predetermined rate, and returning the one or more bullets to the ambient temperature.

A method for thermal processing bullets to yield a refined grain structure, the method comprising:
- obtaining one or more bullets;
- disposing the one or more bullets within a chamber having a temperature gradient between ambient temperature and cryogenic temperature, the chamber having a plurality of temperature zones;
- moving the one or more bullets between the plurality of temperature zones of the chamber at a predetermined rate;
- and
- returning the one or more bullets to the ambient temperature.
A method for thermal processing bullets to yield a refined grain structure, the method comprising:
- obtaining one or more bullets;
- disposing the one or more bullets within a chamber configured to have a first temperature zone and a different second temperature zone;
- moving the one or more bullets from the first temperature zone to the second temperature zone of the chamber at a predetermined rate;
- holding the one or more bullets within the second temperature zone for a predetermined time period;
- and
- returning the one or more bullets to the first temperature zone.
