Description/Abstract:
FAILURE WISE PERFORMANCE OF THESE SLUGS WAS 4-FOLD BETTER THAN THE SLUGS THEY REPLACED. HALVING THE NUMBER OF CLOSURES, INCREASING BRAZE DEPTH, AND CAREFUL ATTENTION OF WELDING WERE CONTRIBUTING IMPROVEMENTS AS REFLECTED IN THE ABSENCE OF A SINGLE WELD FAILURE AMONG THE IMPROVED 8" SLUGS. PERFORMANCE OF THESE SLUGS DURING 1953-54 ESTABLISHED THAT INCREASING THE CAN THICKNESS BY 10 MILS WAS AN IMPROVEMENT.
