Two cylindrical rocket thrust chamber cylinders were coated with a 0.203 mm layer of zirconium-oxide using a process that employed electrodeposition of metal to a spray coated mandrel. The cylinders were cylindrically tested using hydrogen-oxygen propellants at a nominal chamber pressure of 4.14 MN/m2 to show the effect of the coating on life. Both cylinders failed prematurely due to causes unrelated to the coatings. (Kursetz)
