Particle size analysis of HMX

Description: Particle size distribution of three batches of Hercules-supplied HMX were analyzed. The sizes were determined by the specified sieve analysis having a nest range of 180 through 10 ..mu... These sieves were used to comply with Hercules requests; they are also those customarily used for HMX qualification. Five analyses for each batch were performed on the material >10 ..mu.. and duplicates analysis for the <10 ..mu.. material.

Development of PEX explosives phase diagram studies. Quarterly report, October--December, 1971

Description: Experiments have been carried out to determine the solid-liquid phase diagrams of binary mixtures of FEFO, EDNP, BDNPA and BDNPF. Cooling curves for the mixtures give no indication of crystal formation. Penetration measurements indicate a glass transition for all of the mixtures below {minus}40 C. The existence of glassy states for the mixtures was confirmed by visual observation with a polarizing microscope. Thermomicroscopy has been used in the preliminary study of the phase behavior of four … more

Extrudable explosives. Quarterly report, October--December, 1971

Description: Several extrudable HE formulations using, principally, HNAB as the explosive component were examined in efforts to develop an extrudable composition more temperature-resistant than Extex. It is shown that extrudability is dependent upon particle character, wetting of the binder compound, roll-milling technique and the addition of fine metallic oxides to improve flow properties, while detonability is dependent upon explosive concentration, a hard cure, and the shock parameters of the confining m… more

PETN homologs

Description: High purity nitrate esters of the pentaerythritols can be successfully synthesized from correspondingly high purity reagents. The latter are not commercially available, but may be purified through molecular distillation and/or fractional crystallization from xylene. The isolated products are ultimately saponified to reagents of high purity. The nitration of high purity pentaerythritols using 97-100% nitric acid proceeds smoothly resulting in yields of the corresponding nitrate esters which are … more

AFNOL synthesis. Quarterly report, October--December, 1971

Description: Five batches of unplasticized AFNOL, each approximately one pound, were synthesized using 4,4-dinitropimelic acid as the starting material. Two 10 g batches were completed prior to the pound batches to assure the usability of the acid chloride. Characterization of each of the larger batches was by differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared spectrophotometry (IR), and cure tests. Some characterization was also done on the commercial chemicals used in the synthesis.

Slow PBX development. Quarterly report, October--December, 1971

Description: A total of nine batches of pressable baratol and pressable Composition B-3 were made and analyzed. One pressing was made for P/040 fabrication and test fire. The first P/040 plane wave lenses designed were fabricated and fired, yielding a center-leading average of 0.17 {micro}sec asimultaneity. The interface contour was redesigned and two lenses were fabricated and fired, resulting in center-lagging asimultaneity of 0.098 {micro}sec and 0.074 {micro}sec.
