Description
本出願は2001年1月12日に米国特許商標庁に出願された米国仮出願番号60/261111号の優先権の利益を請求する。この出願の全開示がここに参照によって組み込まれる。
本発明は、新規な黒色火薬代替物及びホウ素/硝酸カリウム代替物の組成物を含む、固体の火工品用組成物に関する。本発明はまた、該固体火工品用組成物を製造するための方法に関する。
This application claims the benefit of priority of US Provisional Application No. 60/261111, filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office on January 12, 2001. The entire disclosure of this application is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a solid pyrotechnic composition comprising a novel black powder substitute and a boron / potassium nitrate substitute composition. The present invention also relates to a method for producing the solid pyrotechnic composition.
黒色火薬及びホウ素/硝酸カリウム(B/KNO3)は、2種の古典的な点火薬配合物であり、種々の用途において現在広い用途を有する。黒色火薬は72〜75重量%の硝酸カリウム、15〜18重量%の炭、及び10重量%の硫黄から成る。この基本的な黒色火薬配合物の変形物は既知である。黒色火薬のための最適の配合は一般に、75重量%の硝酸カリウム、15重量%の炭、及び10重量%の硫黄からなると一般的に受容されている。この配合物の黒色火薬は1000psiにおいて1950Kの予想火炎温度を有する。一方、最適の配合においてホウ素/硝酸カリウムは75重量%の硝酸ナトリウム及び25重量%のホウ素から成る。黒色火薬と比較して、ホウ素/硝酸カリウムは1000psiにおいて3034Kの有意に高い火炎温度を有する。 Black powder and boron / potassium nitrate (B / KNO 3 ) are two classic igniter formulations and currently have wide application in various applications. Black powder consists of 72-75% by weight potassium nitrate, 15-18% by weight charcoal, and 10% by weight sulfur. Variations on this basic black powder formulation are known. The optimum formulation for black powder is generally accepted as consisting of 75 wt% potassium nitrate, 15 wt% charcoal, and 10 wt% sulfur. The black powder of this formulation has an expected flame temperature of 1950K at 1000 psi. On the other hand, in the optimum formulation, boron / potassium nitrate consists of 75% by weight sodium nitrate and 25% by weight boron. Compared to black powder, boron / potassium nitrate has a significantly higher flame temperature of 3034 K at 1000 psi.
黒色火薬とホウ素/硝酸カリウムの火炎温度が有意に異なるので、これらの点火薬組成物が使用される用途は幾分異なる。黒色火薬は2種の組成物のうちではるかに低価格であり、より低い火炎温度を有し、そしてホウ素/硝酸カリウムよりもスラグ形成が少ない。これらの理由から、黒色火薬はしばしば、多用途ハードウエア(種々の大きさ及び用途の銃を含む)の点火系列においてホウ素/硝酸カリウムを超えてしばしば選択される。ホウ素/硝酸カリウムは通常、迅速で再現性のある点火のためにより高い温度が重要である用途において利用される。例えば、B/KNO3のための通常の用途は、ロケット類、おとり照明(decoy flares)、及び自動車用二次安全拘束手段又は「エアバッグ」装置のガス発生装置を含む。しかし、ホウ素/硝酸カリウムはBKNO3の経費及び高いBKNO3炎温度(これは再使用可能なハードウエアの時期尚早の腐食を引き起し得る)によって、多用途ハードウエア中に同様にしばしばには用いられない。 Because the flame temperatures of black powder and boron / potassium nitrate are significantly different, the applications in which these igniter compositions are used are somewhat different. Black explosives are much less expensive of the two compositions, have lower flame temperatures, and have less slag formation than boron / potassium nitrate. For these reasons, black powder is often selected over boron / potassium nitrate in the firing series of versatile hardware (including guns of various sizes and applications). Boron / potassium nitrate is typically utilized in applications where higher temperatures are important for rapid and reproducible ignition. For example, typical applications for B / KNO 3 include gas generators for rockets, decoy flares, and secondary safety restraints for automobiles or “airbag” devices. However, boron / potassium nitrate by cost and high BKNO 3 flame temperature of BKNO 3 (which can cause premature corrosion of the reusable hardware), likewise often used in versatile hardware I can't.
黒色火薬を製造するための方法は本技術において既知である。例えば、炭及び硫黄をボールミルで粉砕して、押出機内に供給するための均質な混合物とする。ボールミル粉砕はまた、炭の粒子サイズを減じるために役立つ。硝酸カリウムは乾燥され、そして同様にロッドミルを通して処理されて、平均粒子サイズを約50ミクロンに減じる。グラファイトが所望によって静電放電感度(ESD)を下げる目的のためにロッドミル内に導入され得る。粉砕された炭、硫黄及び硝酸カリウム、及び所望によりグラファイトを次に周知の方法に従って配合する。 Methods for producing black powder are known in the art. For example, charcoal and sulfur are pulverized with a ball mill to form a homogeneous mixture for feeding into an extruder. Ball milling also helps to reduce the charcoal particle size. The potassium nitrate is dried and similarly processed through a rod mill to reduce the average particle size to about 50 microns. Graphite can be introduced into the rod mill for the purpose of reducing electrostatic discharge sensitivity (ESD) if desired. The ground charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate, and optionally graphite are then compounded according to well-known methods.
黒色火薬の燃焼は過多の排出物を生じる。黒色火薬の燃焼はかなりの量の一酸化炭素、二酸化硫黄、及び硫化水素を発生すると計算される。硫化カリウムが燃焼生成物の20%より多くを構成すると予想される。火炎温度において、硫化硫黄は液状で生成され、そして大気酸素による後燃焼を受けて多量の二酸化硫黄を生じやすい。一酸化炭素及び硫化水素も後燃焼を受けやすく、ニ酸化炭素及び二酸化硫黄をそれぞれ生じる。 Black powder combustion produces excessive emissions. It is calculated that the combustion of black powder generates significant amounts of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. It is expected that potassium sulfide will constitute more than 20% of the combustion products. At flame temperatures, sulfur sulfide is produced in a liquid state and is susceptible to post combustion with atmospheric oxygen to produce large amounts of sulfur dioxide. Carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide are also susceptible to post-combustion, producing carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, respectively.
二酸化硫黄は粘膜の組織、上部呼吸管、眼及び皮膚に極端に害がある。吸入は、喉頭及び気管支の発作、炎症、及び浮腫、化学品肺炎、肺浮腫を起こす。従って、二酸化硫黄への暴露は重大な健康上の問題に、長期間の暴露の場合には死につながり得る。 Sulfur dioxide is extremely damaging to mucosal tissues, upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Inhalation causes laryngeal and bronchial attacks, inflammation, and edema, chemical pneumonia, pulmonary edema. Thus, exposure to sulfur dioxide can lead to serious health problems and death in the case of prolonged exposure.
黒色火薬の炭成分は、点火薬組成物の性能にある程度の非予測性を付与する。炭は、木材の炭化によって製造される。米国特許第5320691号に記述されるように、木材の化学的物理的性質は、木の種類、土壌の組成、及び木材が得られた環境条件に依存して大きく変化する。木材の本来の変動及び炭化処理における変動によって、炭の性質はバッチ間で変化する傾向にある。これらの変動は黒色火薬の性能の一貫性に影響し得る。 The charcoal component of the black powder imparts some degree of unpredictability to the performance of the igniter composition. Charcoal is produced by carbonization of wood. As described in US Pat. No. 5,320,691, the chemical and physical properties of wood vary greatly depending on the type of tree, the composition of the soil, and the environmental conditions from which the wood was obtained. Due to the inherent variation of wood and variations in the carbonization process, the nature of the charcoal tends to change from batch to batch. These variations can affect the consistency of black powder performance.
黒色粉末に関連した他の問題はその吸湿性である。黒色火薬は24時間で、21.1℃(70°F)において75%相対湿度で約1.5重量%の水分を吸収する。もし黒色火薬が十分な量の水分を取り込むと、黒色粉末が速く燃焼しない可能性がある。点火薬又は黒色火薬を含む他の装置は高い相対湿度における規格まで、実現できないかもしれない。また、水が硝酸カリウムを黒色火薬粉末から外へ移行させ、そして装置の金属部分を腐食させる原因となる。

When a salt is present, at least 50%, more preferably at least 80%, more preferably about 90% by weight of the organic crystalline compound is present in a non-salt state. It is possible and preferred to use only organic crystals, so that the solid pyrotechnic composition does not contain salts of organic crystalline compounds.

本発明の固体火工品組成物は所望により、追加の成分(例えば非吸湿性ポリマーバインダーを包含する)を含み得る。本発明のこの態様において使用し得る適切な非吸湿性ポリマーバインダーは、75%の相対湿度(21.1℃(70°F))で24時間で4%未満の水分を取り込む(すなわち吸収)ものを包含する。代表的なバインダーは、ポリ(酢酸ビニル)、ポリ(酢酸ビニル−ビニルアルコール)、ナイロン、ポリ(エチレン−酢酸ビニル)、ポリエチレングリコール、アルキルセルロース(例えばエチルセルロース)、ニトロセルロース、及びある種の鎖で延長されたオキセタン(oxetanes)(例えばポリBAMO)、グリシジルアジドポリマー(GAP)、及び関連するポリマーを包含する。バインダーを溶解し、製造中の粘度を下げるために適切な溶媒を使用し得る。例えば、酢酸エチルはポリ(酢酸ビニル)のために適切な溶媒である。組成物がポリマーバインダーを含まない場合、混合を容易にするために水を使用し得る。例えば、必ずしも限定ではなく、バインダーは組成物中に約10重量%以下、好ましくは3〜6重量%の濃度で存在し得る。 The solid pyrotechnic composition of the present invention can optionally include additional components, including non-hygroscopic polymer binders. Suitable non-hygroscopic polymer binders that can be used in this aspect of the invention are those that incorporate less than 4% moisture (ie, absorb) in 24 hours at 75% relative humidity (21.1 ° C. (70 ° F.)). Is included. Typical binders are poly (vinyl acetate), poly (vinyl acetate-vinyl alcohol), nylon, poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate), polyethylene glycol, alkyl cellulose (eg, ethyl cellulose), nitrocellulose, and certain chains. Includes extended oxetanes (eg, poly BAMO), glycidyl azide polymer (GAP), and related polymers. Any suitable solvent may be used to dissolve the binder and reduce the viscosity during manufacture. For example, ethyl acetate is a suitable solvent for poly (vinyl acetate). If the composition does not contain a polymer binder, water can be used to facilitate mixing. For example, but not necessarily, the binder may be present in the composition at a concentration of about 10 wt% or less, preferably 3-6 wt%.
グラファイト、金属又はメタロイド燃料及び充填剤を包含する他の成分も、固体火工品組成物の意図される用途に望まれるか必要とされる場合に許容される。
慣用の黒色火薬と比較して、非吸湿性バインダー及び結晶質化合物の使用は、本発明の固体火工品組成物の水分取り込みを下げる。好ましい態様において、固体火工品組成物の水分取り込みは、75%の相対湿度及び21.1℃(70°F)において24時間にわたり0.3重量%以下、さらに好ましくは0.25重量%以下である。
Other components, including graphite, metal or metalloid fuels and fillers are also acceptable if desired or required for the intended use of the solid pyrotechnic composition.
Compared to conventional black explosives, the use of non-hygroscopic binders and crystalline compounds reduces the water uptake of the solid pyrotechnic composition of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the moisture uptake of the solid pyrotechnic composition is no more than 0.3 wt%, more preferably no more than 0.25 wt% over 24 hours at 75% relative humidity and 21.1 ° C (70 ° F). It is.
さらに、酸化剤塩及び有機結晶質化合物の比率を調節することによって、点火時に2300K以下、好ましくは1750K〜2300Kの理論火炎温度を有する配合物を得ることができる。一般に、過塩素酸塩の濃度を増すことは、火炎温度を増し、過塩素酸の濃度を減らすことは理論火炎温度を下げる。一方、理論火炎温度は有機結晶質化合物と逆相関関係を有する。理論火炎温度はNASA-Lewis熱化学計算によって計算される。このプログラムのコピーはオハイオ州クリーブランドのNASA Glenn Research Centerを通じて入手できる。 Furthermore, by adjusting the ratio of the oxidant salt and the organic crystalline compound, it is possible to obtain a blend having a theoretical flame temperature of 2300K or less, preferably 1750K to 2300K at the time of ignition. In general, increasing the concentration of perchlorate increases the flame temperature, and decreasing the concentration of perchloric acid decreases the theoretical flame temperature. On the other hand, the theoretical flame temperature has an inverse correlation with the organic crystalline compound. The theoretical flame temperature is calculated by NASA-Lewis thermochemical calculation. A copy of the program is available through the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

本発明のこの態様のために適切な過塩素酸塩及び有機結晶質粒子は、黒色火薬代替組成物と関連して上述し列挙したものから選択できる。一般に、ホウ素/硝酸カリウムは比較的高い理論火炎温度、好ましくは少なくとも2300K、さらに好ましくは2300K〜3000Kの範囲で燃焼する。そのような高い火炎温度を、比較的高い過塩素酸塩含量、例えば固体火工品組成物の全重量を基準として約20重量%〜約90重量%、さらに好ましくは30〜90重量%を使用することによって得ることが可能である。過塩素酸塩は、理論火炎温度を上昇させるために硝酸塩のような他の酸化剤より大きい効果を有することが発見された。一般に、理論火炎温度を調節するために、有機結晶質化合物と所望のバインダーと比較して、低めの含量の過塩素酸塩と高めの含量の他の酸化剤(例えば硝酸塩)を組み合わせる。一方、有機結晶質粒子及び所望のバインダーと比較して、高めの含量の過塩素酸が低い含量の他の酸化剤と組み合わされる。
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an alternative pyrotechnic composition of B / KNO 3 comprising perchlorate oxidant particles and organic crystalline particles.
Suitable perchlorate and organic crystalline particles for this aspect of the invention can be selected from those listed and listed above in connection with the black powder replacement composition. In general, boron / potassium nitrate burns at relatively high theoretical flame temperatures, preferably at least 2300K, more preferably in the range of 2300K to 3000K. Such a high flame temperature is used at a relatively high perchlorate content, for example from about 20% to about 90% by weight, more preferably from 30 to 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the solid pyrotechnic composition. Can be obtained. It has been discovered that perchlorate has a greater effect than other oxidants such as nitrate to raise the theoretical flame temperature. In general, to adjust the theoretical flame temperature, a lower content of perchlorate and a higher content of other oxidants (eg, nitrates) are combined as compared to the organic crystalline compound and the desired binder. On the other hand, a higher content of perchloric acid is combined with a lower content of other oxidants compared to the organic crystalline particles and the desired binder.

Add to. Next, the oxidant particles are added to the Hobart mixer. Oxidant particles can be added simultaneously or at different times. If more than one oxidizer particle is used, the particles need not be premixed. When the solvent is removed, such as by vacuum or evaporation, the ingredients are blended in a Hobart mixer until the material is globuled. The small spheres are refined to an appropriate size, for example, with a Stokes granulator. The granules are then dried on aluminum trays under appropriate conditions, for example in a 135 ° F. convection oven. After drying, additional atomization can be performed to grind the agglomerates. This technique is merely exemplary. Many modifications can be made to this technique. For example, the binder can be preblended with the organic crystalline particles prior to adding the solvent. Similar conditions and processes can be used for processing in a twin screw extruder.

Preferably, the calcium stearate coating comprises about 0.5% by weight of the particles. The pellets can be used as is or further processed (eg by grinding) to produce high density granules with ballistic properties comparable to finely divided black powder.

Inside the cell, the suspended particle flow collides with a small laser beam that creates a light diffraction pattern. This light diffraction pattern is transformed into an energy distribution matrix, which occurs for samples given various particle size properties such as intensity, distribution, average diameter, cumulative volume, and the like.

Hinshaw, Daniel W. Doll, Reed J. Blau, Gary K. Lund; Patent 5,592,812(1/14/97)、5,673,935(10/7/97)、5,725,699(3/10/98)及び5,735,118(4/7/98))。水分取り込みデータ及び成分の百分率を表2にまとめる。
Example 15
In a 50 mL Nalgene vial, 2.62 g phenolphthalein was added to 0.5 g of 70% water / 30% ethanol solution. To this slurry was added 1.34 g of 30% aqueous KOH solution.

Specifically, the igniter was ignited in reusable hardware designed to mimic the expander of a driver's car safety bag. The loading of the non-azide gas generant used in both tests was 38 g (“Metal Complexes For Use As Gas Generants”; Jerald C. Hinshaw, Daniel W. Doll, Reed J. Blau, Gary K. Lund; Patent 5,592,812 (1/14/97), 5,673,935 (10/7/97), 5,725,699 (3/10/98) and 5,735,118 (4/7/98)). The moisture uptake data and component percentages are summarized in Table 2.
実施例16〜21
配合物を実施例15のものと同様に混合した。バインダーを酸化剤と同時に加えた。水分の取り込みを実施例2に記述したように決定した。データを表2にまとめる。
Examples 16-21
The formulation was mixed as in Example 15. The binder was added simultaneously with the oxidant. Water uptake was determined as described in Example 2. The data is summarized in Table 2.
表1からわかる様に、本発明の配合物は従来の黒色粉末及び従来の黒色火薬代替物組成物と等しいか又はそれらより優れた弾道性能を有した。硫黄を含まない態様のものでは、弾道性能は実施例1、3、5、7及び8において特に良好であり、これらの実施例においては全酸化剤濃度は65〜80重量%の範囲で存在し、そしてフェノールフタレインが13〜22重量%の範囲で存在する。実施例2は比較的おおきな70ミクロンのフェノールフタレイン粒子を使用する。実施例6及び9は80重量%より多い酸化剤を有する。こっらの因子は、実施例1、3〜5及び7と比較して弾道性能、特に平均スロープ測定値を下げる。 As can be seen from Table 1, the formulations of the present invention had ballistic performance equal to or better than conventional black powder and conventional black powder substitute compositions. For those embodiments that do not contain sulfur, ballistic performance is particularly good in Examples 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8, in which the total oxidant concentration is in the range of 65-80 wt%. And phenolphthalein is present in the range of 13-22% by weight. Example 2 uses relatively large 70 micron phenolphthalein particles. Examples 6 and 9 have greater than 80 wt% oxidizer. These factors reduce ballistic performance, especially the average slope measurement, compared to Examples 1, 3-5 and 7.
表2は、フェノールフタレインの結晶がもつ、その有機結晶質状態でのフェノールフタレインと比較して高い水分取り込みを示す。有機結晶質化合物の塩に対する比は水分取り込みと逆相関し、すなわち比が増すほど水分取り込みは減少する。 Table 2 shows the high water uptake of phenolphthalein crystals compared to phenolphthalein in its organic crystalline state. The ratio of organic crystalline compound to salt is inversely related to water uptake, ie, water uptake decreases as the ratio increases.
