Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an energy composition that can be used in an optical detonator (initiator comprising an explosive) or an optical igniter (initiator comprising a pyrotechnic composition).
  • the energy composition disposed in the first stage of the detonator is a mixture comprising the secondary explosive and the carbon black powder which is used as an optical dopant (it absorbs the radiation emitted by the laser sources and transmits to the secondary explosive the thermal energy necessary for it to reach its critical temperature).
  • the effectiveness of the carbon black is considerably reduced.
  • the validation of a detonator for such an application requires the performance of tests after a thermal cycle that corresponds to the cycle suffered in connection with this application has been imposed.
  • the imposed thermal cycle corresponds to a rise at a temperature of 100 ° C maintained for 5 hours and then a cooling at room temperature.
  • the laser source used is a laser diode
  • the ignition of the secondary explosive mixed with 1% by weight of carbon black has take place when a power of 0.1 W is sufficient if the detonator has not undergone this cycle.
  • a first solution overcoming the disadvantage relating to the need to have a powerful laser source to be able to ignite a detonator subjected to severe climatic conditions has been described in the application FR 2,831,659 and consists in introducing into the first stage of the detonator, between the secondary explosive and the optical focusing interface, a redox pyrotechnic composition which, absorbing in the infrared, is the seat of an oxidation-reduction reaction which releases the energy required for the priming of the secondary explosive.
  • the pyrotechnic composition used (ZPP composition) is very sensitive to friction and electrostatic discharges.
  • the present invention aims to allow the initiation of an optical initiator (detonator or igniter) by a low power laser source, without having the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art initiators.
  • the initiator comprises an energetic composition formed of a mixture comprising at least one secondary explosive and a metal in the form of a powder, this metal acting as optical dopant.
  • Such a composition makes it possible to have a priming of the main composition of the initiator (secondary explosive in the case of a detonator, pyrotechnic composition in the case of an igniter) even with a a low-power laser source, for example with a laser diode with a power of 1 W, and this by reducing the risks associated with the manipulation of the main composition.
  • the initiator secondary explosive in the case of a detonator, pyrotechnic composition in the case of an igniter
  • a low-power laser source for example with a laser diode with a power of 1 W
  • the energy composition 1 according to the present invention is formed of a mixture comprising at least one secondary explosive and a metal which is in the form of a powder and acting as an optical dopant.
  • the energy composition 1 in use, is disposed in a cavity of an optical initiator 2, 3 and is in contact with an optical focusing interface 4 which closes the cavity and which allows transmitting to the energy composition 1 the infrared radiation emitted by a source of laser radiation and transmitted from the source to the optical focusing interface 4 by an optical fiber 5 which is connected by a first end to the laser radiation source, and by its second end to the optical focusing interface 4.
  • the metal used has the property of absorbing the infrared light emitted by the laser source and, because it is intimately mixed homogeneously with the secondary explosive, it transmits thereto, by thermal conduction, the heat that it has accumulated, which thus allows the initiation of the reaction of the secondary explosive.
  • the latter has a thermal diffusivity of at least 10 -5 m 2 .s -1 , and preferably at least equal to 5.10 -5 m 2 .s -1 , or even at least equal to 9.10 -5 m 2 ⁇ s -1 , the thermal diffusivity being defined by the ratio of the thermal conductivity on the product of the capacity calorific value by the density of the metal in question.
  • the metal used can be aluminum (9.8 ⁇ 10 -5 m 2 ⁇ s -1 ), an aluminum alloy (Al 2 O 4 'dural' with a diffusivity of 4.5 ⁇ 10 -5 m 2 ⁇ s -1 ), tungsten (6.8 ⁇ 10 -5 m 2 ⁇ s -1 ), copper (11.7 ⁇ 10 -5 m 2 ⁇ s -1 ), magnesium or a magnesium alloy (11.7 ⁇ 10 -5 m 2) . s -1 ), or even nickel, zirconium or titanium.
  • Aluminum is preferred because of the value of its thermal diffusivity and its low cost.
  • the metal Since the metal is used for its physical properties of infrared light absorption and heat transfer, and not for its chemical properties (as in aluminized explosives), a small amount is sufficient. It thus represents at most 10% by weight of the energy composition 1, preferably at most 5% by mass, or even on the order of 1% by mass. The higher the metal content, the shorter the initiation time of the energy composition 1, however, beyond 5% by weight, for applications where a very short initiation time is not necessary, the composition energy 1 becomes unnecessarily sensitive to standard safety tests (impact, friction, electrostatic discharge).
  • the secondary explosive used in the energy composition 1 may be, for example, octogen, hexogen or hexanitrostilbene.
  • This energy composition 1 may comprise several secondary explosives, for example octogen with hexanitrostilbene, the latter having the property of having a relatively low sensitivity to friction.
  • the secondary explosive is preferably a powder whose particle size is less than 6 microns (preferably less than 3 microns).
  • the metal is finely divided and its average particle size is less than 6 microns, and preferably less than 2 microns, or even 1 micron, which corresponds to the wavelength of the emitted laser light.
  • the energy composition 1 conforms to the present invention is compressed in the cavity at a high loading density, preferably greater than 80% of the theoretical maximum density associated with composition 1.
  • a dispersing agent which makes it possible to avoid the formation of agglomerates (for example isopropanol) and which will then be removed by drying.
  • the energy composition 1 may comprise an inert polymeric binder or wax (preferably representing at most 5% by weight of the composition) in order to reduce its sensitivity during standard safety tests for mechanical aggression. It is also possible to add graphite to benefit from its lubricating properties and also to increase the safety of implementation of the energy composition 1.
  • the mixing of the secondary explosive with the metal must be particularly homogeneous in order to ensure the priming reliability and reproducibility of the reaction time of the optical initiator 2,3.
  • the diameter of the laser spot at the output of the optical focusing interface 4 is close to the diameter of the optical fiber 5 (the diameter can be reduced to 50 ⁇ m) and the absorption thickness is of the same order of magnitude.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the use of such an energetic composition 1 in an optical detonator 2.
  • an optical detonator 2 has two stages: the laser source initiates, by heating, a main energetic composition (a composition essentially comprising a secondary explosive or a mixture of secondary explosives) disposed in the cavity 10 of the first stage, the very strong degradation reaction that follows to initiate the detonation of a secondary explosive 6 disposed in the cavity 11 of the second stage either by an explosion-detonation transition process or by a shock-detonation transition process (depending on the configuration of the detonator 2 and the characteristics of secondary explosives used in the first and second stages).
  • a main energetic composition a composition essentially comprising a secondary explosive or a mixture of secondary explosives
  • Figure 1 illustrates a detonator 2 in which the main energy composition is formed by the energy composition 1 according to the present invention.
  • Tests were carried out using as a laser source a 1 W diode connected to the optical interface 4 by an optical fiber 5 with a diameter of 62.5 ⁇ m in order to validate the composition 1 according to the present invention for space applications where the decisive criterion is the level of the ignition threshold (given the importance of saving energy in this area).
  • the composition 1 was loaded into the cavity of the first stage at a density close to 1.7 g.cm -3 , and the detonator 2 underwent a thermal cycle of 5 hours at 100 ° C. followed by a cooling at room temperature.
  • composition 1 comprised octogen having an average particle size of 2.5 ⁇ m and 1% by weight of aluminum having a mean particle size of 5 ⁇ m; and in a second detonator, composition 1 comprised octogen having an average particle size of 2.5 ⁇ m and 1% by weight of aluminum having a mean particle size of 160 nm.
  • the ignition threshold was 110 mW.
  • Tests have also been carried out using a compact Nd-YAG solid laser source capable of delivering a power density of 3 MW.cm -2 (100 times greater than the 1 W laser diode) in order to validate composition 1 according to the the present invention for military domains where the decisive criterion is the response time of the detonator and its reproducibility (to allow a sequenced priming of several military heads).
  • the laser source used in such applications may be a solid laser delivering sufficient energy so that the ignition threshold is not a problem.
  • the composition 1 was loaded into the cavity of the first stage at a density close to 1.7 g.cm -3 , and the detonator was subjected to a thermal cycle of 5 hours at 100 ° C.

  • the dispersion of the response time is about 10 ⁇ s (compared with 30 ⁇ s for an energy composition comprising a secondary explosive mixed with carbon black), and for the second test, the dispersion is less at 2 ⁇ s, the detonator operating time being 41 ⁇ s.
  • the aluminum has a smaller particle size (or slightly higher) to 1 micron.
