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