say i was to galvanize a uranium bullet and i wanted to make make sure that if shot from a fire arm it wouldn’t get any uranium chipping off and turning into dust and enter peoples lungs….
What process and metal is suitable for galvanizing uranium in a combustion like condition?
The DU rounds that tanks fire are sabot rounds, and the DU rounds that the A-10 fires are tipped with DU, meaning that the DU doesn’t come in contact with the barrel of the weapon firing the DU.
Just to let you know…
You couldn’t galvanize or copper wash it, it would have to be sleeved with lead or copper and the dia. would need to be smaller then the barrel rifling much like an AP round.
Have you tried gold?
zinc
