Definitions
- This invention relates to the production of an ammoniumnitrate base explosive charge which is capable of being poured or cast.
- Explosive charges adapted to be poured (cast aor molded) and having an ammonium nitrate base were widely used during the World War, whereby the'exceedingly high melting point of the ammonium nitrate (167 C.) was lowered by the addition of related nitrates, for example, so- 10 dium nitrate and organic salts or substances such as sodium acetate, dicyandiamid and urea, until at about 105 C. a viscous mass was obtained which permitted sufilcient homogenization with the aromatic substances, for example, trinitrotoluol added to increase the explosive force.
- related nitrates for example, so- 10 dium nitrate and organic salts or substances such as sodium acetate, dicyandiamid and urea
- ammonium nitrate base explosive charges of more complete homogeneity and still greateriexplosive force with equal safety in the gun barrel and on shooting at this explosive if the ammonium nitrate is melted together with the nitrates of simple or multiple amines of the aliphatic series.
- Example I Ammonium nitrate (melting point 16'7" C.) 55% Ethylenediaminedinitra m e 1 ti n g point 188C.) 45% Casting temperature 103C; Lead bloc expansionm 390 ccm.
- Example II Ammonium nitrate (melting points 167 c.). --r Methylamine nitrate (melting point 4 Casting temperature"; 58 C. 55 Lead bloc expansion 375 ccm.
- Example III Ammonium nitrate 55% Ethylenediaminedinitrate 40% Methylamine nitrate 5% 69 Casting temperature 93 C. Leadbloc expansion 385 ccm.
- Example IV Ammonium nitrate 5 Diethylenetriaminetrinitrate (melting point 151.”) ..r. 35% Casting temperature 116 C. Lead bloc expansion" 390 ccm.
- a process for the production of explosive mixtures -f extremely great homogeneity, particularly for the production of poured explosive charges comprising melting together ammonium nitrate and nitrates of the amines of the aliphatic series.
- a process for the production of explosive mixtures of extremely great homogeneity, particularly for the production of poured explosive charges comprising melting together ammonium nitrate and ethylenediaminedinitrate.
- a process for the production of explosive mixtures of extremely great homogeneity, particularly for the production of poured explosive charges comprising melting together ammonium nitrate and methylamine nitrate.
- a new composition comprising the combination of ammonium nitrate and a nitrate of the amines of the aliphatic series.
- a new composition comprising ammonium nitrate combined with ethyleneciiamine dinitrate.
- a new composition comprising ammonium nitrate combined with methylamine nitrate.
- a process for the 'producton of explosive mixtures of extremely great homogeneity comprising melting together ammonium nitrate and diethylenetriaminetrinitrate.
- a process for the production of explosive mixtures of extremely great homogeneity, particularly for the production of poured explosive charges comprising melting together ammonium nitrate and a nitrate of the amines of the aliphatic series.
- a new composition comprising the combination of ammonium nitrate and nitrates of the amines of the ali hatic series.
