A novel augmented railgun using a permanent magnet is proposed in this paper. The effects of the permanent magnet on the magnetic field and distribution of current density have been investigated. High current densities in the railguns can lead to high local temperature and erosion of the rails. Therefore, the current densities in the rails and armature should be decreased without the reduction of the Lorentz force which is required for acceleration. For this purpose, augmentation of the magnetic field can be used as an effective method. The Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations have been applied in this article to analyze the performance of the railgun in the presence of the magnets. Two augmented railgun structures have been introduced to produce a constant external magnetic field. For both structures, augmented railgun characteristics are studied in comparison to the railgun without the augmentation. The results show that augmentation with permanent magnet increases railgun efficiency, especially in low current railguns. For pulse current source I=30kA, Lorentz force of the augmented railgun with four magnets is 2.02 times greater than the conventional railgun.

Nickle-carbon nanotube (Ni/CNT) nanocrystalline coatings with different parameter were prepared by brush plating. The carbon nanotubes were added into common nickel solution for brush plating and ball milling was used to disperse the carbon nanotubes in the solusion. The concentration of carbon nanotubes in the solution was 3 g/l. The SEM and XRD were applied to investigate the grain size, microstructure and morphology of the coatings. The hardness and the wear mass loss of the coatings were examined on micro hardness tester and ball on disk tribotester. The results show that under a direct-current source, the grain size of the Ni/CNT coating was about 20 nm. Under a pulse-current source, the grain size of the Ni/CNT coatings decreased and the coatings gained smoother surface when the pulse-width became shorter. The grain size of the Ni/CNT coating increased with the heating temperature increasing and the average grain size of the coating heated at 500 degrees centigrade was over 50 nm. The microhardness of the Ni/CNT coating under a pulse-current source was higher than that of the coating under a direct-current source. Under a pulse-current source, the microhardness of the Ni/CNT coating increased when the pulse-width became shorter. The microhardness of the Ni/CNT coating changed slightly below 300 degrees centigrade, while decreased obviously after heated up to 400 degrees centigrade. The wear resistance of the Ni/CNT coating under a pulse-current was higher than that of the coating under a direct-current. Under a pulse-current, the wear resistance of the Ni/CNT coating increased when the pulse-width became shorter.
