  • Shell with a shell body and a process for the preparation of radially protruding guiding means on a shell body
    Patent number: 6600126
    Abstract: Guiding means being arranged on a surface area of a shell are made of high purity nickel by build-up welding. This avoids a drag-in of copper into a gun barrel foreseen for the launch of a shell. A production of the guiding means in the build-up welding process allows a reliable fixing of the guiding means directly onto the shell body.
