Research abstract
Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing is proposing to demonstrate the feasibility and cost effectiveness of directly printing ‘Muzzle Brake’ components for the US Army’s Long Range Precision Fires priority . Design for Additive Manufacturing solutions will be used to generate an muzzle brake with optimal braking and acoustic signatures. Printing strategies will be developed to lower costs by creating a "casting grade" print. Various coating will be explored to further increase performance of the muzzle brake.
