Abstract
The sliding electrical contact performance of the electromagnetic railgun is the main factor affecting the launch accuracy, launch efficiency, and working life of the electromagnetic railgun. The objective evaluation of the sliding electrical contact performance of the electromagnetic railgun is crucial for the research of the electromagnetic railgun theory and engineering design. Because the sliding electrical contact process of the electromagnetic rail gun is complex, the mechanism and performance requirements of the launcher in different phases are different, so it is difficult to evaluate according to the unified standard. In this paper, the whole launch process is divided into three phases: dry friction, liquefaction layer, and high-speed instability. The sliding electrical contact mechanism of these three phases is analyzed separately, and the evaluation model is established, respectively. Then, the theoretical analysis, expert evaluation, and experimental data statistics are used to comprehensively determine the weight system of the three phases. Finally, the comprehensive evaluation model of the three phases is established. The validity of the above-mentioned model is verified by the actual launch test. The evaluation method of this model has practical significance for the scientific research, engineering design, and model development of the electromagnetic rail gun.
