A methodology to measure the metal erosion on recovered armatures

Metal erosion on railgun armatures is a life-limiting mechanism for electromagnetic guns. A methodology to measure the eroded metal and to plot erosion contours on the armatures would be helpful for optimization and development of armatures. Such a method would enable to correlate eroded mass with f...
