Abstract: A method of making a rocket thrust chamber from an anomalistic tube bundle includes providing an anomalistic tube bundle including a plurality of tubes and a plurality of bonds, at least one of the bonds is discontinuous, defining a gap between one of the tubes and another of the tubes immediately adjacent thereto, filling the gap with a bridging material, the bridging material in the gap defining a patch, heating the tube bundle and the patch to a conditioning temperature, maintaining the conditioning temperature until the particles have become sintered and the binder material has vaporized, spraying molten metal onto the patch and the tube bundle outer shell until a predetermined thickness of the metal covers the tube bundle outer shell, and machining the predetermined thickness of metal to the predetermined dimensions of the structural jacket.
