Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer verbrennbaren Hülse für patronierte Munition mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a method for producing a combustible sleeve for cartridges Ammunition with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
Bei diesem bekannten Verfahren wird die verbrennbare Hülse durch ein Verfilzungsverfahren hergestellt, welches drei wesentliche Arbeitsschritte umfaßt: Ansetzen einer Nitrocellulose- und Zellstoffasem enthaltenden wässrigen Pülpe (Faserbrei), Herstellen eines Rohfilzes durch Entwässern des Fasermaterials auf einer Siebform und Verpressen des Rohfilzes zur weiteren Entwässerung, Verdichtung des Fasermaterials sowie zur endgültigen Formgebung.In this known method, the combustible sleeve by a felting process which comprises three essential steps: preparation of a nitrocellulose and pulp containing aqueous pulp (pulp), making a Raw felt by dewatering the fiber material on a screen mold and pressing the Raw felt for further dewatering, densification of the fiber material and the final Shaping.
Nach diesem bekannten Verfahren hergestellte verbrennbare Hülsen weisen den Nachteil auf, daß sie im Falle von Munition mit Geschossen, die ein hohes Gewicht aufweisen, aus Festigkeitsgründen eine relativ dicke Wandstärke aufweisen müssen. Außerdem treten bei bekannten verbrennbaren Hülsen, die hohen mechanischen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind (wie sie beispielsweise im Falltest oder bei automatischen Ladungssystemen auftreten), immer wieder Schäden auf, die eine Ladbarkeit der Patronen verhindern.Burnable sleeves produced by this known method have the disadvantage that, in the case of ammunition, they are made of projectiles of high weight Strength reasons must have a relatively thick wall thickness. In addition, join known combustible sleeves, which are exposed to high mechanical loads (as they occur, for example, in the drop test or in automatic charging systems), again and again damage, which prevent loading of the cartridges.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren anzugeben, mit dem auf einfache Weise verbrennbare Hülsen hergestellt werden können, die gegenüber bekannten Hülsen vergleichbarer Abmessungen eine größere mechanische Festigkeit besitzen. The invention has for its object to provide a method with the simple Way combustible sleeves can be made, compared to known sleeves comparable dimensions have greater mechanical strength.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, vor dem Herstellen des Rohfilzes in die wässrige Pülpe ein Additiv zuzugeben, welches die Festigkeit des aus Nitrocellulose- und Zellstoffasern bestehenden Faserverbundes nach dem Pressen steigert, so daß sich sowohl die Bruchkraft und Bruchdehnung als auch der Weiterreißwiderstand des Materials erhöhen.The invention is based essentially on the idea before producing the raw felt add to the aqueous pulp an additive which increases the strength of the nitrocellulose and pulp fibers existing fiber composite increases after pressing, so that Both the breaking force and elongation at break and the tear propagation resistance of the material increase.
Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei den Additiven um polymere Materialien mit hydrophilem Charakter, welche einen hohen Gehalt an OH-, NH2- und/oder ähnlichen Gruppen, mit der Fähigkeit, chemische Bindungen und / oder intermolekulare Wechselwirkungen (z. B. Wasserstoffbrücken) mit den Cellulose- bzw. Nitrocellulose-Molekülen zu bilden, aufweisen.The additives are preferably polymeric materials having a hydrophilic character and having a high content of OH, NH 2 and / or similar groups, with the capability of having chemical bonds and / or intermolecular interactions (eg hydrogen bonds) cellulose or nitrocellulose molecules.
Als Additive haben sich vor allem kationische und anionische modifizierte und native Stärken, Glucomanane und Mannogalaktane (z.B. kationische modifiziertes und amphoteres Guar) sowie Carboximethylcellulose als vorteilhaft erwiesen.As additives have mainly cationic and anionic modified and native Starches, glucomanans and mannogalactans (e.g., cationic modified and amphoteric Guar) and carboxymethyl cellulose proved to be advantageous.
Zusätzlich zu der gewünschten Erhöhung der mechanischen Festigkeit weisen die nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten verbrennbaren Hülsen den weiteren Vorteil auf, daß bei laborierten Patronen weniger Sprengöle aus dem Treibladungspulver in die Hülse migrieren als bei bekannten vergleichbaren verbrennbaren Hülsen.In addition to the desired increase in mechanical strength have the after The combustible sleeves produced by the process according to the invention have the further advantage on that with labored cartridges less blasting oils from the propellant powder in the Sleeve migrate than in known comparable combustible sleeves.
Nachfolgend werden mehrere praktische Ausführungsbeispiele beschrieben:
Bei annähernd gleichbleibenden Stauchwerten (Elastizität des Materials) konnte die Zugfestigkeit signifikant erhöht werden.At approximately constant compression values (elasticity of the material), the Tensile strength can be significantly increased.
