Production of the M804E1 Projectile Metal part requires complex operations and sophisticated industrial capabilities. Producers must have either induction heaters or rotary furnace capable of heating a 120 lb mult to 2100 degrees F. Press capability of a t least 800 Ton Hydraulic or 2500 Ton Mechanical and a draw press with a stroke of at least 100 inches. Rough turn lathes capable of machining a 6.5 inch diameter part 25 inches long. A nosing press with at least 400 Tons hydraulic or 800 tons mechanical with a metal prep system and induction heating system. Heat treat capability with oil quench to perform austenitize quench and temper to obtain required metallurgical properties. Bore face and chamfer lathes. Finish turn lathes capable of swallowing th e part and performing the base and boat tail operation. A band press, and complete paint facilities. In addition, various QA procedures are required. Following is the general production process for the M804E1 Projectile Metal part. 5.25 round cornered square 1050 Steel is received from the mill, the billets are cut into mults. The mult is heated and forged and allowed to air cool. The forging is roug h turned, nosed, and heat treated. The part is then sent to bore face and chamfer operation, finish turned, a band is pressed on and finally sent to painting. The various machine, nosing, and heat treat operations are performed as required in TDP. Thro ughout the process various non-destructive tests are performed. It is required that only companies who SERIOUSLY feel they are capable of manufacturing the M804E1 Projectile Metal Part are invited to indicate their interest by providing the Government a brief description of their capabilities, qualifications, and past manufacturing experience as it relates to the above criteria.
