Dead legs in gun drilled cooling channels
Dead legs in gun drilled cooling channels
(OP)
Hello,
I'm looking into a cooling problem. Some of the potential solutions require gun drilling (~1.4m deep) through stainless steel. In order to create the cooling channel network the deep drilling will create some dead legs in the system. Is there a standard way of blocking off dead legs? I've got a few ideas about plugs etc. but don't want to reinvent the wheel if there is a standard solution out there. The environment will be hostile so polymers are probably not acceptable.
Many thanks
George

The plugs are available commercially.

More reliable than drive plugs.
You really need to gun drill? There is no room to remove heat from a surface? Those are going to be very expensive holes.
