Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a method for the production of a breech block for a cannon where the method comprises that a raw material for a breech block is manufactured additively from at least one metal powder. Once a raw material for a breech block has been manufactured, the raw material for the production of a breech block is post-treated by exposing the raw material to high pressure and heat also called Hot Isostatic Pressing, HIP, for pressing and sintering the metal powders included in the raw material. The invention further relates to a breech block and a cannon comprising a breech block.
A method for the production of a breech block for a cannon, the method comprises manufacturing a raw material for a breech block additively from two different metal powders, a surface material and a bulk material, once a raw material for a breech block has been manufactured, and exposing the raw material for the production of a breech block to high pressure and heat, also called Hot Isostatic Pressing, HIP, for pressing and sintering the metal powders included in the raw material.
