Abstract: A method of fabrication of a rocket engine nozzle assembly using pressure brazing generally includes initially assembling a rocket engine nozzle liner into a rocket engine nozzle jacket for a rocket engine nozzle assembly. The rocket engine nozzle assembly may then be sealed. Prior to pressure brazing the rocket engine nozzle assembly, pressure brazing parameters may be determined. The pressure brazing may be performed with the determined pressure brazing parameters to complete the fabrication of the rocket engine nozzle. The rocket engine nozzle assembly may include a rocket engine nozzle jacket and a rocket engine nozzle liner having a plurality of channels, with the space between each channel defining a land, and the rocket engine nozzle liner having at least a pair of endlands disposed at each end thereof. The rocket engine nozzle liner is bonded to the rocket engine nozzle jacket by the endlands being bonded to the nozzle jacket and the lands being pressure brazed to the nozzle jacket.

Abstract: A tank is utilized for containing a plating solution. A rotatable support assembly rotatably supports a combustion chamber component relative to the tank for providing partial immersion of the combustion chamber component within the plating solution. An anode is positioned within the tank proximate a surface of the combustion chamber component to be electroplated. A current source is connected to the anode and in electrical contact with the combustion chamber component. When the combustion chamber component is rotated, the submerged portions are deposited with metal from the plating solution.

Abstract: In a first assembly step a coolant liner is formed having an outside surface. A plurality of coolant channels are formed on the outside surface. At least two inner conformal throat support sections and at least two outer conformal throat support sections are formed. The two inner conformal throat support sections are formed around the outside surface of the coolant liner to form a closed inner conformal throat outside surface. The inner conformal throat support sections are joined at inner throat seam lines. At least two outer conformal throat support sections are assembled around the closed inner conformal throat outside surface so as to cover the inner throat seam lines, to form a liner throat support assembly. An inlet manifold and an outlet manifold are assembled around the liner throat support assembly to form a hot isostatic press (HIP) assembly. A HIP'ed assembly is formed by HIP'ing the HIP assembly.
