Definitions
- the invention relates to a pourable propellant charge powder with grains based on nitrocellulose containing bismuth as Entkupferungsadditiv. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of the propellant charge powder and to an ammunition with such a propellant powder.
- Free-flowing, nitrated cellulose-based propellant powders are used in the caliber ranges from 5.56 mm (small caliber) to 80 mm (medium caliber) in a wide front as drive for accelerating the respective projectile.
- Such bulk powders have been routinely used for several years and have proven themselves due to their high ballistic performance (high muzzle velocity), excellent chemical and ballistic stability (use in warm climates), cheap availability (good price / performance ratio, renewable raw materials, available in large quantities ) and good properties with respect to bombardment resistance (no detonative reaction when exposed to hollow charge jet or hot splinters).
- the use of lead has been widely used in several ammunition components.
- the bullet often contained lead to improve end-effect and trajectory.
- the double-core projectile which is made up of two lead cores of different hardness and a bullet jacket made of Tombak.
- the tombac sheath ensures a lower throughput resistance of the projectile and thus a reduced running load, since tombac alloys, which are composed of the elements copper and tin (Tombak is thus brass with a copper content of 70-90%), are very good cold formable.
- Lead compounds have also often been used for ignition, e.g. Bleiazide.
- Bi203 is suitable as an additive in the production of perforated propellant charge powder for decoppering.
- the additives should be in a range of 0-15 wt .-% move.
- the decoloring additive may be added separately to the powder mass.
- lead foils were used, which due to their toxicity may not be used in the future.
- Entkupferungsadditive be bismuth, indium, zinc and titanium metal resp. Alloys thereof mentioned.
- the application of the described method is problematic, since the significant difference in density between the additive composite and the bulk powder known to lead to a separation of the two different types of grain, resulting in an uncontrolled respectively. incomplete burning of the powder mass result.
- the addition of an additive composite to a normal bulk powder is technically more complex and therefore more expensive than the use of a uniformly structured drive.
- the additive composite burns only incomplete because of its high content of inert material, which can lead to increased residue formation.
- the object of the invention is to provide a pourable propellant powder belonging to the technical field mentioned at the outset, which leaves less copper deposits in the barrel of the rifle or gun and is environmentally harmless.
- the bismuth compound is contained in the grains in an amount of 0.1-2% by weight.
- metallic / elemental bismuth may be used alone (i.e., without any other metal such as tin or the like) as a decoloring additive.
- bismuth (III) oxide as bismuth compound.
- bismuth oxide (Bi 2 O 3 , melting point 817 ° C, boiling point 1'890 ° C, Density 8.9 g / ccm, CAS no. 1304-76-3, EINECS no. 215-134-7) with a mean grain diameter of 10 microns.
- elemental bismuth (CAS No. 7440-69-9, EINECS No. 231-177-4)
- bismuth carbonate oxide CAS No. 5891-10-4, EINECS No. 227-567-9) a surprisingly clear decolouring effect.
- the bismuth or the bismuth compound should in any case be present in the form of very fine grains ( ⁇ 100 microns). A particle size of less than 20 micrometers is preferred.
- the bismuth compound (or elemental bismuth) may be distributed in the grain matrix underlying the grains or on the surface or in a surface forming layer of the grains.
- the bismuth compound is added during the surface treatment so that the bismuth compound and the metallic bismuth, respectively, have a higher concentration in the near-surface layer than in the grain matrix.
- the surface layer in question is e.g. formed together with the graphite powder and has a thickness of typically up to 50 microns. However, other solids may also be included in the surface layer (such as lime or potassium sulfate).
- the graphite powder is used in a known amount ( ⁇ 1 wt .-%).
- the bismuth compound or metallic bismuth should be present as powders having a particle size of less than 100 microns, more preferably 20 microns or less. Fine bismuth powders have proven to be particularly effective.
- the total amount of bismuth compound contained in the powder grain is incorporated in about half of the total amount in the grain matrix and about half in the near-surface layer. The concentration is thus greater immediately below the surface than inside the grain.
- the bismuth (III) oxide is preferably present in a concentration of between 0.5% and 1.2% by weight.
- the small, medium and large caliber based bulk powder is based on nitrocellulose with a nitrogen content between 11-13.5% by weight and can be used as further energetic additives Explosive oils (NGL or DEGN or their combination) or energetic plasticizers (Bu-NENA, Et-NENA or Me-NENA or their combination).
- nitroglycerin (NGL) is provided in an amount between 3-20% by weight in a near-surface layer.
- the size of the near-surface layer depends on the depth of diffusion that the NGL achieves during surface treatment (eg, diffusion depth d between 100-500 microns).
- the nitroglycerin content is in the range of 4-8 wt% for medium caliber and 10-17 wt% for small caliber.
- Blasting oils can be homogeneously distributed in the grain matrix (2-base bulk powder) or concentrated in the outer layer of the grain matrix (so-called EI® powder, see EP 1 164 116 A1). If the grain matrix no energetic plasticizer resp. Contains explosive oils, it is 1-base bulk powders.

If the geometry of the grains is cylindrical, the ratio of length (L) to diameter (D) is 0.25-5, with a length of the grain between 0.3-10 mm and the diameter of the circular cylindrical grain between 0.3-10 mm. If the geometry of the grains is spherical, the diameter of the grains usually ranges between 0.2-20 mm, preferably between 1-5 mm.
- the thickness is between 0.3-5 mm and the diagonal between 1-15 mm.
- the grains may contain crystalline energy carriers and / or energetic plasticizers or blasting oils as further main components.
- crystalline energy carrier for example, one of the following substances is used: nitroguanidine (CAS #: 556-88-7), hexogen (CAS #: 121-82-4) and octogen (CAS #: 2691-41-0).

- a particularly suitable class of substances are the so-called 2-nitroxyethyl-nitramines (alkyl-NE-NA) having the general structural formula (1), where R 1 is an aliphatic radical:
- the total amount of these energetic liquid additives is between 0-40 wt .-% compared to the nitrocellulose, preferably between 5-20 wt .-%.
- the liquid additives are either distributed homogeneously in the grain matrix, wherein the powder production is carried out by the known processes kneading / rolling / pressing.
- an enrichment in the outer zones of the powder grain is conceivable, whereby the production of such bulk powder by impregnation of a green grain in aqueous emulsion takes place (see, EP 1 164 116 A 1).

- the cylindrical powders may contain longitudinal channels extending in the axial direction for influencing the burning behavior.
- 1- and 7-hole geometries have proven particularly useful, wherein the diameter of the hole zones is typically between 0.05 to 0.5 mm.
- the spherical grain geometry has also proven successful in the small bore range, with the ball diameters typically ranging from 0.3 to 2.0 mm, depending on the caliber range.
