Definitions
- the invention relates to a propellant powder, the grain of which has at least one with an opening has an opening opening to an outer surface of the grain, the opening is closed with a pin. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for Production of such a powder.
- TLP Propellant powder
- system specific Factors system specific Factors
- Large temperature differences when using weapons are one of the most important influences that a propellant charge manufacturer or an ammunition manufacturer has to consider. So it can easily happen that Local and / or global climate conditions Safe drive solutions in one temperature range from - 54 ° C to + 63 ° C / + 71 ° C (and even up to + 100 ° C in aircraft use).
- tube weapons are in constant demand after increased performance (e.g. higher kinetic energy of the projectile in the tank, longer ranges for artillery shells, shorter flight times for anti-aircraft missiles [Machine gun], higher probability of first shot, etc.).
- the desired performance improvements can only be achieved by exhausting all reserves and through a combination of suitable measures (optimization of internal ballistic Operations) can be achieved with the weapon-technical framework unchanged stay.
- the required high performance TLP be inexpensive are producible, i.e. with easily accessible, inexpensive starting materials and with simple processes can be manufactured.
- the burning speed depends on the Autoignition temperature and the initial temperature of the propellant body. This behavior leads to the well-known property of such classic blowing agents, that their linear burning speed more or less from the initial temperature depends. This inevitably also means that peak gas pressure and muzzle velocity have a more or less steep temperature gradient. This The temperature-dependent performance of such blowing agents has considerable disadvantages, e.g. small First shot hit probability and significantly lower projectile energy at normal and especially at low operating temperatures. The limiting factor is always that of maximum peak gas pressure occurring at high temperatures.
- US Pat. No. 4,106,960 mentions a surface coating in which a 19 - hole propellant powder with 18% polymethyl methacrylate (mol. weight> 100,000), 3.4% titanium oxide, 1.9% diphenylcresyl phosphate and 100% toluene (all percentages based on the TLP) is coated in 20 application and drying cycles. About 10 to 20 parts by weight (based on the amount of TLP) are preferred inert material mounted on the TLP. This corresponds to an inert coating layer from 100 to 200 microns. This greatly delays the ignition of the TLP. You mix this highly treated TLP with untreated TLP, which is an instantaneous ignition has, it is possible to invert the temperature dependence of the propellant charge powder. A mixture of treated grain and untreated grain showed in the pressure bomb (where all material burns) a temperature-independent behavior, the burning time was not specified. The temperature-independent behavior was in the gunfire Not checked.
- Another proposal for reducing the temperature dependency relates to the adaptation of the chamber volume depending on the powder temperature.
- the object of the invention is to provide a propellant charge powder of the type mentioned in the introduction, that shows a largely temperature-independent combustion behavior without essential Losses in other properties have to be accepted. In particular neither the ignition behavior nor the chemical and ballistic stability of the Propellant powder deteriorate.
- a propellant charge powder of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that that the peg has a temperature-dependent mobility that is such that at lower Application temperature there is a higher mobility than at a higher application temperature, so that the peg is stronger at a lower application temperature Hole burn-up permits than at higher application temperatures.
- the effect mentioned is based on the temperature-dependent cone mobility during the ignition process of the TLP.
- the cones remain at a high powder temperature (and thus at faster burning rate) in the perforated channels. So there is a minimal Surface available for burning.
- the pins are all removed by the ignition shock wave and there is a maximum surface area available for burning.
- it is Product of the burn-off speed times the surface constant at all firing temperatures, which equates to a temperature-independent combustion behavior.
- the temperature-dependent cone mobility is determined by coordinating the relevant parameters in surface treatment and due to the temperature-dependent expansion the propellant grain matrix or the cone controlled. Two important parameters are in the amount of graphite used and the treatment time. The longer treated, the stronger the cones become. It should be noted that the inventive Effect cannot be created solely by introducing graphite. The graphite must also be compacted or glued to form a kind of solid. Add to that e.g. the use of solvents or desensitizers. (Is the grain soft, e.g. desensitizers can also be dispensed with.)
- elastomers such as e.g. the two- or multi-base nitrocellulose, itself above their glass transition temperature (> -40 ° C) more or less proportionally with expand with increasing temperature.
- the surface treatment to achieve an SCDB® effect is usually done with 30 ° C carried out. This means that the hole diameter of such propellant grains at 63 ° C because of the material expansion are smaller than at 30 ° C. Since the cone material, that sits in the perforated channels, expands with increasing temperature these have a larger diameter at 63 ° C. Thus, the pins are firmly stuck at 63 ° C. In addition, propellant grains and also the cones (where the solid passes through small amounts of explosive oil and nitrocellulose is glued) at high temperatures exhibit increased adhesive behavior. The cones can thus be ignited during the ignition process hardly move by the shock wave.
- the hole diameters are contracted of the grain material larger than at 30 ° C.
- the pin diameter increases at this temperature because of the material contraction.
- the cones are therefore quite loose in the perforated channels.
- the adhesive effect of the cold grain material is also reduced.
- the ignition shock therefore drives the cones immediately into the hole or pulverizes them, because the brittleness the cones, which are mainly made of solid material, at low temperatures but increases significantly.
- TLP composition and amount amount and grain size of the solid, polarity and amount of the solvent, amount and polarity of the desensitizer or moderator, duration of treatment and temperature
- TLP composition and amount amount and grain size of the solid, polarity and amount of the solvent, amount and polarity of the desensitizer or moderator, duration of treatment and temperature
- pin stability described above in the perforated channels is a represents statistical size. Not every peg shows the same behavior on the ignition pressure wave.
- the hole erosion is used to characterize the extent to which the holes run out Combustion processes contribute to the rate of gas formation. The more holes released the more surface is available for the erosion. Accordingly more gas is produced from the grain per unit of time.
- the invention has various approaches compared to the approaches proposed in the prior art Benefits.
- TLP perforated propellant powder
- It can be Manufacture propellant powder that has a temperature-independent combustion behavior, can be easily initiated by conventional means of ignition and also via a have high ballistic stability (service life). Because of the temperature independence (more or less constant gas formation rate) the powder energy Make optimal use of the entire temperature range.
- the cone should preferably consist of a substance contained in the green grain (i.e. the untreated one perforated TLP), is not soluble. This ensures that the anchoring of the pin in the opening and thus the mobility of the pin is not can change through diffusion processes.

This is necessary so that the radical reactions (Polymerization, crosslinking) without annoying side reactions and with high yield expire. Under inert gas, the temperature of the TLP is increased to such an extent that the initiator breaks down into radicals as quickly and completely as possible. These radicals then start the Polymerization or the networking of moderators.

- the evaporation can by other Measures are additionally supported or promoted. For example, an air or flow of inert gas over the moist TLP.
- the treated TLP then becomes subjected to a sharp drying process. This leaves the last traces of solvents removed and the treatment layer stabilized. This is how the TLP is typically Leave at 60 ° C for about 3 days in a convection oven. This allows e.g. ethanol Remove completely ( ⁇ 0.01%).

This decay half-life is, because of its central importance, in all commercially available thermal Initiators known. So that the polymerization reactions are as complete as possible the polymerization time at a certain temperature to four to six times the decay half-life of the initiator used Temperature set. Then the TLP is opened directly in the air or under the inert gas Cooled to room temperature. Because preferred for applying the polymerizable moderator low-boiling, apolar solvents are used, the TLP is after Evacuation and polymerization practically solvent-free.
- the low-viscosity liquid and / or the moderator soluble in the TLP causes this (Desensitizer) that the pin is additionally solidified and anchored in the perforated channel.
- the burn in the perforations of the TLP is therefore due to the treatment-related influence slows down to the shape function with increasing powder temperatures. This works the with increasing temperature, the burning speed of the TLP becomes faster. Ideally, the two effects compensate, so that the surface-treated TLP has a temperature-independent burning behavior.
- This mechanism of action according to the invention thus differs completely from that other mechanisms described in the literature for achieving a reduced Temperature dependence.
- this mechanism is not based on the (dangerous) Embrittlement of the TLP at low temperatures.
- the surface treatment according to the invention is different also has a favorable effect on the flowability and bulk density of the TLP. That's how they are Bulk densities of the treated TLP are up to 10% higher than the bulk densities of the untreated TLP.
- a TLP that is subjected to a surface treatment according to the invention is therefore suitable was, significant and inexpensive combat value increases in existing weapon systems to realize without impairing the full system compatibility.
- This treated TLP can also be used in newly developed weapon systems become. It can z. B. improves the ignition and / or pipe erosion can be reduced.
- the treated TLP is dried at 60 ° C for 3 days.
- FIG. 1a-c shows a comparison of the test results of the combustion behavior of a propellant powder in the ballistic bomb.
- the ratio is on the abscissa of the current pressure P to the maximum pressure Pmax and on the ordinate is the dynamic one Liveness (1 / bar sec) x100 applied.
- Fig. 1a is the behavior of the untreated Grünkorns can be seen at application temperatures of -40 ° C, + 21 ° C and + 50 ° C.
- Fig. 1b the pressure bomb tests are immediately after the powder production and in Fig. 1c recorded after 5 years of storage at 21 ° C.
- the surface-treated (SCDB) TLP FM 2032n / 9 shows in the 150 ml pressure bomb (loading density 0.2, shelling at -40 ° C, + 21 ° C and + 50 ° C) the three powder temperatures very small liveliness differences. That means that Burning is practically independent of temperature.
- TLP Part of the treated TLP is 5 in a closed vessel at room temperature Stored for years. A pressure bomb is shot again from this stored TLP (Fig. 1c). The TLP shows practically the same dynamic vivacity as 5 years previously, i.e. the burn-off is still temperature-independent.
- the TLP treated in this way is dried at 60 ° C. for 3 days.
- Powder grains in an extinguishing bomb examined at different temperatures: A rupture disc opened the bomb at approx. 700 bar and the burnt-in TLP grains were thrown into a water bath and extinguished. The recuperated, partially burned TLP were photographed.
- 3a again shows the pressure bomb results of the untreated green grain FM2708n.
- 3b and 3c show the test results of the two samples FM 2712n and FM 2758n. It is clearly evident that the temperature dependence of the TLP burnup could be greatly reduced.
- a solution consisting of 100 is then sprayed while rotating the powder mass Grams of cyclohexane (1.25% by weight based on the TLP), 40 grams of propoxylated Glycerol triacrylate (0.5% by weight based on the TLP) and 2 grams of di (4-tert.butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate (5% by weight based on the triacrylate).
- the mass is at room temperature for 60 minutes touched. Then the lid of the treatment device is removed and the solvent evaporated while rotating for 30 minutes.
- the treated TLP is transferred to a vacuum cabinet and there at room temperature evacuated until a final pressure of about 1 mbar is reached. Then the vacuum cabinet filled with nitrogen and the heating switched on. Once the TLP reaches a temperature of 70 ° C, this temperature is left to act for about two hours. The TLP is then allowed to cool to room temperature.
- 1 kg of the treated TLP is sealed in a gas-tight bag and attached to Stored at 71 ° C for 4 weeks. This corresponds to storage at room temperature of several decades (50 to 100 years). The rest of the TLP is stored at room temperature.
- a green grain was made with the matrix 11.0x (19x0.20) mm, treated with a networkable moderator.
- Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (1.3% by weight or TLP) was used.
- the residual ethylene glycol dimethacrylate content was reduced determined by GC / MS. It was found that> 95% of the dimethacrylate was converted.
- the TLP was stored at 71 ° C for 4 weeks and then with FTIR microspectroscopy its concentration profile compared to normally stored TLP. In the Fig. 7 concentration profiles of the networked moderator show that even under drastic storage conditions no diffusion can be determined. That means again that this TLP is ballistically stable.
- the treated TLP is dried at 60 ° C for three days.
- Fig. 8a-c are the pressure bombs at different powder temperatures of the Grünkorns (Fig. 8a: untreated), the treated powder (Fig. 8b: after storage at 21 ° C for 4 weeks) and the accelerated aged, treated powder (Fig. 8c: 4 weeks at 63 ° C).
- the pressure bomb clearly shows the reduction in temperature dependence of powder burn-off after the surface treatment according to the invention. This reduction remains unchanged when the treated TLP undergoes artificial aging is subjected. Because of its insolubility, polyvinyl alcohol cannot enter the TLP matrix diffuse. This treated TLP is also ballistically stable.
- the cap is then removed and the aqueous ethanol is turned while rotating Evaporated for 15 minutes.
- the treated TLP is dried at 60 ° C for three days.
- Fig. 9a-d the pressure bombing at different powder temperatures of the Grünkorns (Fig. 9a: untreated), the treated powder (Fig. 9b: after storage at 21 ° C for 4 weeks) and the accelerated aged, treated powder (Fig. 9c: 4 weeks at 63 ° C).
- the pressure bomb clearly shows the reduction in temperature dependence of powder burn-off after the surface treatment according to the invention. This reduction remains unchanged when the treated TLP undergoes artificial aging is subjected. This treated TLP is also ballistically stable.

- niedermolekularen Verbindungen bzw. Oligomeren oder Polymeren, welche pro Molekül mindestens eine polymerisierbare Gruppe besitzen und
- Verbindungen, die mindestens zwei polymerisierbare Gruppen tragen.
- Die Treibladungspulver-Rohmasse wurde aus 58 % Nitrocellulose, 26 % Nitroglycerin und 16 % Diethylenglycoldinitrat gefertigt. Als Stabilisator wurde Akardit II verwendet.
- Das perforierte Grünkorn wurde in einer Strangenpresse mit einer 19-Loch Matrize hergestellt. Die Matrizendimension ist bei den Beispielen jeweils angegeben.
- Das oberflächenbehandelte Grünkorn mit einem praktisch temperaturunabhängigen Abbrandverhalten wird auch als SCDB (Surface Coated Double Base) Treibladungskorn bezeichnet.
- Die vorliegende Erfindung erbrachte die neue Erkenntnis, dass die Senkung des Temperaturkoeffizienten von perforierten, zwei- bis mehrbasigen TLP durch gezielte Versiegelung der Perforationen mit Zapfen erreicht wird, welche eine temperaturabhängige Mobilität haben. Durch geeignete Oberflächenbehandlungsprozesse können die Löcher des TLP dermassen verschlossen werden, dass der Lochbrand bei hohen TLP-Temperaturen verzögert, bei tiefen Temperaturen sofort abläuft (Einfluss auf die Formfunktion). Dies führt zu einem Abbrandverhalten des oberflächenbeschichteten zweibasigen TLP, welches weitgehend unabhängig von der Temperatur des TLP ist.
- Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass bei einer optimalen Wahl der Behandlungs-Komponenten und -Parameter mit Kleinstmengen an Behandlungsmitteln ein temperaturunabhängiger Abbrand des artreinen, behandelten TLP erzielt werden kann. Das hat den grossen Vorteil, dass sich das behandelte Treibladungskorn sehr leicht durch die Initialzündung anzünden lässt. Zudem lässt sich die erfindungsgemässe Oberflächenbehandlung dermassen reproduzieren, dass das behandelte TLP artrein (und nicht unbedingt als Gemisch) eingesetzt werden kann. Somit ist ein homogener Abbrand erreichbar.
- Überraschenderweise wurde zudem gefunden, dass die erfindungsgemässe Oberflächenbehandlung die Herstellung ballistisch stabiler TLP erlaubt. Somit ist über die gesamte Einsatzdauer des Munitionssystems ein gleichbleibendes Abbrandverhalten gewährleistet.
- Diese neuartigen Oberflächenbehandlungen können im Prinzip auf jedes perforierte Grünkorn angewendet werden, sind aber der jeweiligen Rezeptur und Matrix des TLP als auch dem Anzündsystem anzupassen, um die Temperaturabhängigkeit des TLP-Abbrands möglichst optimal einstellen zu können.
- Die gefundene Oberflächenbehandlungstechnik erlaubt es, TLP herzustellen, die innerhalb eines breiten Temperaturintervalls ähnlich grosse Gasbildungsraten und somit ähnliche Mündungsgeschwindigkeiten und Spitzengasdrücke aufweisen. Dies hat zur Folge, dass unabhängig von der Umgebungstemperatur, bei welcher die Munition verschossen wird, ein konstant hohes Energieniveau zur Verfügung steht und somit die endballistische Leistung konstant und hoch gehalten werden kann.
- Mit der erfindungsgemässen Oberflächenbehandlung kann das Temperaturverhalten des TLP in weiten Bereichen variiert oder ein gewünschtes Verhalten gezielt eingestellt werden. Wird die Oberflächenbehandlung in abgeschwächter Form durchgeführt (kleinere Mengen an Feststoff und/oder Moderator (Phlegmatisator) und/oder kürzere Behandlungszeiten als bei der optimalen Behandlung), so wird eine reduzierte Temperaturunabhängigkeit des TLP-Abbrandes erzielt. Bei einer optimalen Behandlung ist der TLP-Abbrand jedoch annähernd temperaturunabhängig. Wird eine starke Oberflächenbehandlung durchgeführt (grössere Mengen an Feststoff und/oder Moderator (Phlegmatisator) und/oder längere Behandlungszeiten als bei der optimalen Behandlung), so kann das Temperaturverhalten des TLP invertiert werden: Bei hohen Temperaturen ist in diesem Fall die Gasbildungsrate des behandelten TLP geringer als bei tiefen Temperaturen.
- Somit kann durch das Abmischen von stark behandeltem und nicht behandeltem TLP im richtigen Verhältnis ebenfalls ein TLP mit temperaturunabhängigem Abbrandverhalten hergestellt werden.
- Das behandelte Schüttpulver weist eine verbesserte Rieselfähigkeit und eine erhöhte Schüttdichte auf. Die Schüttdichte ist ein Mass dafür, welches Gewicht an Treibladungspulver in einer Volumeneinheit untergebracht werden kann und wird typischerweise in der Einheit Gramm pro Liter (g/l) angegeben. Diese erhöhte Schüttdichte ist von grosser Bedeutung, da das Hülsenvolumen einer gegebenen Munitionskomponente vorgegeben ist. Je mehr Pulvermenge sich in diesem vorgegebenen Hülsenvolumen unterbringen lässt, desto mehr chemische Energie steht schliesslich für die ballistische Anwendung zur Verfügung.
- Da für die neuartige Oberflächenbehandlung nur sehr kleine Mengen an energetisch inertem Material eingesetzt werden, fällt der Leistungsabfall des behandelten TLP kaum ins Gewicht (gemäss Verbrennungskalorimetrie besitzt das behandelte TLP im Vergleich zum Grünkorn lediglich eine um ca. 2% geringere Explosionswärme).
