Description

BARREL EROSION REDUCING COMBUSTIBLE AMMUNITION PART SUCH AS PROPELLENT CHARGE CASING p n Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer Combustible moulded ammunition part The invention relates to a combustible moulded ammunition a propellant charge casing or propellant charge wherein the combustible moulded ammunition part contains an High energy propellant as required for firing produce high temperatures and pressures in the barrel of the respective weapon and accordingly also cause increased wear of the barrel due to To reduce such erosion it is known to add wax or a similar material to the propellant it has been found that the effect of such additives is relatively From DE 39 27 400 A1 it is also known that wax or paraffin as substance is not added to the propellant but put in a moulded ammunition part consisting of combustible plastic shrink Also in this case no significant reduction of the erosive effect of the propellant powder on the inside of the respective weapon barrel was It is the object of the invention to provide a moulded ammunition part of a combustible which contains additives that produce a better reduction of the erosive effect of the propellant powder on the inside surface of a weapon barrel than known comparable According to the invention this object is achieved by the characteristics of claim 1 particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the secondary Thus according to the there is provided a combustible moulded ammunition a charge casing or propellant charge wherein the combustible moulded ammunition part contains an characterised in that the substance is an oxide of one of the elements of the rare or of one of the elements of the 6th subgroup of the periodic table or or polyoxymethylene The invention is essentially based the idea of using as additive an oxide of one of the elements of the rare especially or of one of the elements of the 6th subgroup of the periodic table or especially Mo03 or or polyoxymethylene or a combination of these The surprisingly good effect of these oxides can probably be attributed to their ablative which leads to a cooling of the inside wall of the weapon barrel from which the ammunition in question is The ablative effect of the oxides can be explained by the high negative formation heat ΔΗ of these oxides and the relatively low boiling The evaporation enthalpy of the which because of their embedding in the wall areas of the moulded ammunition part rest practically directly against the inside wall of the weapon cools the latter so that the erosion is noticeably With one exemplified where as additive tungsten trioxide was used in the propellant charge the erosion on the inside surface of a corresponding weapon barrel dropped by 47 compared to conventional ammunition where no additive was used in the propellant charge To manufacture the moulded ammunition part according to the 2 to 1 by mass of one or several substances are mixed into The aqueous slurry of the raw material required to manufacture the moulded and subsequently the moulded part is produced in the known manner by applying it to a mould mandrel insufficientOCRQuality
