The technique is commonly used in manufacture of high-pressure pump cylinders, warship and gun barrels, and fuel injection systems for diesel engines. Due to work-hardening process it also enhances wear life of the barrel marginally. While autofrettage will induce some work hardening, that is not the primary mechanism of strengthening.
Then, the needle gun is used to remove rust, loose scale, and paint, leaving bare metal. [5] It is used most effectively by holding it at a 45° angle to the work surface. [5] It is recommended that an area no larger than 6 to 8 inches (150 to 200 mm) be cleared at once. [5] Two to three passes over an area is generally sufficient to clean it. [5]
A female worker boring out the barrel of a Lee-Enfield rifle during WWI. Gun barrels are usually made of some type of metal or metal alloy.However, during the late Tang dynasty, Chinese inventors discovered gunpowder, and used bamboo, which has a strong, naturally tubular stalk and is cheaper to obtain and process, as the first barrels in gunpowder projectile weapons such as fire lances.

Painting types include fine art to decorative and functional objects spanning from acrylics, frescoes, and oil paint on various surfaces, egg tempera on panels and canvas, lacquer painting, water color and more. Knowing the materials of any given painting and its support allows for the proper restoration and conservation practices.
In woodworking and the decorative arts, refinishing (also repolishing in the UK)refers to the act of repairing or reapplying the wood finishing on an object. [1] paint, wood finish top coat, [citation needed] wax, lacquer or varnish are commonly used. [2] The artisan or restorer is traditionally aiming for an improved or restored and renewed ...
Parts of a silver object from Indianapolis Museum of Art collection, in the process of being polished with calcium carbonate. An unpolished piece is on the left and a finished piece on the right. Ethyl alcohol is sometimes added to the slurry mixture to help dry out excess water. The slurry mixture is applied throughout the piece until ...
Animation of the Vickers muzzle booster operation, showing the expanding gases pushing the barrel to the rear relative to the cooling jacket. A Vickers-type muzzle (or recoil) booster, the "typical" type, consists of two parts: a flared "cup" on the muzzle of the barrel, and a perforated tube around the end of the muzzle, attached to the main body of the weapon.
The mount includes elements of the machine gun cooling system. A swing mount is a fixed mount that allows a far greater and more flexible arc of fire than the simple pintle mount system. Utilising a system of one or two articulated arms the gunner can swing the weapon through a wide arc even though the gunner's position is fixed relative to the ...
