Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of solid propellants, and relates to a free-loading composite solid propellant molding process, and in particular to a molding device and a process for a free-loading metal wire embedded solid propellant. Background Art

[0002] For small and medium-sized tactical missiles, in order to meet the requirements of long-term engine operation, the solid propellant charge designed often adopts the end-face combustion type. However, due to the limitation of missile caliber, in order to make the engine achieve long-term high thrust, it can only be achieved by increasing the propellant burning rate. A simple and feasible method is to add metal wires in the grain column, and use the high thermal conductivity of the metal wires to increase the temperature near the propellant, thereby greatly increasing the burning rate of the propellant there, forming a new combustion surface change law, increasing the combustion area, and improving the thrust. Metal wires of different materials and diameters have different thermal conductivity. The number of metal wires and their arrangement in the charge will affect the burning rate performance of the charge. The thickness of the metal wire will affect the growth rate ratio of the propellant. The thinner the metal wire, the higher the growth rate ratio, the easier it is to break during the pouring process, and the molding process is difficult to control. In addition, the metal wire must be kept straight in the propellant as much as possible, otherwise it will affect the working state of the engine. Therefore, how to use the tooling mold to make the embedded metal wire propellant smoothly molded according to the design requirements and improve the yield rate of the molding process is a problem that needs to be considered.
