Definitions
- the present invention is in the field general pyrotechnic munitions, plus particularly in the field of explosive ordnance.
- a safety igniter for a pyrotechnic munition element comprising a envelope-shaped structure and a loading pyrotechnic substance contained in the structure, said igniter being intended to generate combustion without detonation of the pyrotechnic charge when the element ammunition is subjected to slow heating.
- Ammunition elements loaded with explosives such missile heads, bomb bodies, penetrators and submarine ammunition can lead to violent reactions, deflagration or detonation, because of their strong confinement.
- the deconfinement system may consist of opaque leaflets at a preset pressure which play the role of safety valve by releasing a evacuation surface to generated decomposition gases by the pyrotechnic reaction.
- Other techniques exist such as the use of fusible elements, cutting cords or rupture primers.
- slow heating solicitation (slow Cook Off) is classically specified and consists of subject a munition item to a warm-up a few degrees per hour until his reaction pyrotechnic that can intervene after several dozens of hours. These reactions can be very violent because they start in some cases in the heart pyrotechnic material, in a medium that will have the time to degrade by pyrolysis of the binder and start of chemical decomposition of active ingredients.
- Heart starts are frequently observed with the large caliber ammunition (bombs, penetrators, submarine ammunition). They are there consequence of the thermally insulating nature of explosive and early exothermic decomposition at within the material.
- the heat released can not evacuate to the outside and generates an elevation additional internal temperature that accelerates further decomposition to the bulk reaction. The larger the dimensions, the lower is the reaction temperature.
- the ignition pellets contained in the tube preferably consist of a mixture of boron and of barium chromate.
- chromate barium is particularly toxic, carcinogenic, and that it causes heritable genetic damage. Of more, under thermal stresses, it emits fumes also very toxic.
- the present invention proposes a solution to this problem and is mainly concerned with a new security igniter for ammunition element pyrotechnic comprising a shaped structure envelope and a solid pyrotechnic charge contained in the structure, said igniter being intended to generate combustion without detonation of the load pyrotechnic when the ammunition element is subjected to a slow warm-up.
- This new safety igniter according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a block in solid composition based on pentrite, and preferentially, in that it is solely constituted by such a block.
- Such a safety igniter is particularly simple to manufacture and insert into the element of ammunition. Monobloc, it presents properties intrinsic mechanics sufficient not requiring inert housing such as a plastic tube.
- this block in solid composition based on pentrite is a detonable material bringing energy additional in the context of normal use of the ammunition, which is not the case of the aforementioned igniters of the state of the art that are not detachable.
- This duality of function, security igniter in the part of a slow and explosive heating in the frame of normal use of the ammunition, which is specific to the present invention is particularly advantageous.
- constituents of the safety igniter according to the invention are neither toxic or carcinogenic, and that fumes from combustion are not particularly toxic.
- composition based on pentrite it is necessary to otherwise include a composition having a weight in pentrite ⁇ 5%, better still ⁇ 10%, and better ⁇ 25%, the maximum weight content being about 98%.
- the block in solid pyrotechnic composition based on pentrite is a composite explosive (cast plastic bonded explosive).
- Composite explosives are, so general, well known to those skilled in the art. They are obtained from binder explosive compositions plastic implemented by casting and then polymerization and consist of a loaded plastic binder containing at least one nitrated organic explosive charge like hexogen, octogen or pentrite. Other charges may also be present, oxidizing as example ammonium perchlorate, or reducing as for example aluminum.
- the first pentrite, and possibly the other charges, explosive or non-explosive with a resin liquid polymerizable and optionally a plasticizer, then the paste is poured into a mold desired dimensions for the block. We then do polymerize the paste.
- crosslinking agents catalysts, wetting agents, composite explosives are obtained varied.
- the mold may consist of a machined cavity in the pyrotechnic charge solid ammunition that we want to secure.
- the plastic binder is a polyurethane binder, the content of which is preferably between 12% and 20% by weight relative to the weight total of the composite explosive.
- the binders polyurethanes those obtained by reaction are preferred of a polybutadiene hydroxylated with a polyisocyanate.
- binders can be used, in particular silicone binders and polyester binders.
- the block solid pyrotechnic composition based on pentrite is a compressed explosive, ie a binder explosive plastic implemented by compression.
- the matter of base (molding powder) consists of granules in which the charges are coated with a material thermoplastic according to a well-known technique of the skilled person.
- thermoplastic binder After heating the molding powder to a temperature such that the thermoplastic binder begins to soften, it is introduced into a heated mold and then compressed under high pressure, of the order of 3 bar.
- the block solid composition based on pentrite is an explosive cast-melted, for example a pentolite (mixtures of TNT and pentrite), such as pentolite 20-80 (20% weight of pentrite and 80% by weight of tolite) and the pentolite 50-50.
- a pentolite mixtures of TNT and pentrite
- pentolite 20-80 (20% weight of pentrite and 80% by weight of tolite
- pentolite 50-50 a mixture of TNT and pentrite
- Cast-melted explosives which are well known those skilled in the art, are implemented by pouring into molds of a suspension of a granular explosive in a melted explosive, such as TNT.
- the block solid composition based on pentrite is a pentocire, that is, an essentially constituted composition of pentrite coated with a film of wax such as beeswax or synthetic wax.
- the coating method for example underwater, is well known to those skilled in the art.
- the weight content of wax is preferably between 2% and 12%.
- Such compositions can also include additives such as graphite and / or aluminum.
- pentocires is carried out by cold pressing in the mold of a press.
- the block solid pyrotechnic composition based on pentrite can have some form.
- the block is in the form cylindrical, and better still in the form of a cylinder of revolution usually having a diameter between 2mm and 50mm.
- the diameter of the block can be smaller, equal or greater than the critical diameter of the composition pyrotechnics based on pentrite constituting the block.
- the height of the cylinder can be any. We usually uses diameter / height ratios included between 0.5 and 3, but preferably this ratio is neighbor of 1 or greater than 1.
- the temperature of reaction of the safety igniter when the element of ammunition is subjected to slow heating, is a decreasing function of the block diameter, and that one can so very easily predetermine the temperature of reaction of the safety igniter depending on the diameter of the block, for a given composition and a given diameter / height ratio.
- This particularly easy temperature setting reaction of the safety igniter offers an advantage significant to change the safety margins of a given ammunition, or to use similar igniters composition in ammunition with pyrotechnic charges of different compositions.
- the present invention also relates to a pyrotechnic munition element comprising a envelope-shaped structure, generally metallic and for example steel, a solid pyrotechnic charge contained in the structure, a device for deconfinement of the structure, for example a system as mentioned above, and a safety igniter also as mentioned above and object of the present invention to generate combustion without detonation pyrotechnic charge when ammunition item is subject to slow heating.
