Failure mechanism of sputtered Ta coatings on short rifled gun bore under vented vessel tests

Abstract Tantalum is a promising candidate for chromium electrodeposition in large gun bore coatings. However, brittle β-Ta phase can be easily obtained by magnetron sputtering at low temperatures. In this study, Ta coatings were deposited on the inner surfaces of short rifled tubes using high-power...
