Abstract

A method of producing a rocket thrust chamber includes positioning sleeved cooling tubes within a structural jacket to form a tube bundle, and positioning a liner within the tube bundle thereby sandwiching the tubes between the jacket and the liner. The tubes are then subjected to high internal pressure and inflated at high temperature while the liner is simultaneously subjected to the same high pressure, thereby forcing the sleeved tubes into intimate contact with adjacent sleeved tubes, the liner and the jacket, and the temperature is maintained until bonding has occurred between the liner, sleeved tubes and jacket.
