Hardness Investigations on Historical Firearm Barrels from the Collection of the Miltary Museum in Budapest

Abstract:

This article presents one of the elements of research on the techniques and technology of the production of historical firearms. The article contains a description of the technology used to manufacture a gun barrel. In order to broaden the knowledge of the production technology of barrels, Vickers hardness tests were carried out on a group of 19 historical pieces.
