Abstract

In the case of weapons, the inner surface of the barrel bore, due to difficult operating conditions, such as high pressure, high temperature and chemically aggressive products of propellant combustion, are exposed to wear and damage. The paper presents an analysis using both a numerical simulation and experimental tests, conducted in order to check capability of non-destructive testing of gun barrels using eddy current thermography. The obtained results have confirmed the capability of detecting defects on the barrel bore surface by means of this method.
