Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of explosive charging, and in particular relates to a heat preservation and pressure forming method and a device for a high solid phase particle melt casting explosive in a pressure forming process. Background Art

[0002] Melt-cast explosives are low-cost, have good molding performance, and have a high degree of automation. They have an irreplaceable position in military mixed explosives, among which TNT-based melt-cast explosives are used in military mixed explosives in an amount of more than 90%. However, due to the nature of the matrix of melt-cast explosives, the solidification process of the charge is accompanied by changes in physical state, heat, and volume. In the process of the carrier explosive cooling and solidifying from liquid to solid, the volume of the carrier explosive shrinks, which will produce coarse crystals, pores, shrinkage holes, and cracks inside the charge column. When the content of solid phase particles in the mixed explosive is high, the viscosity of the molten explosive system will increase sharply, exceeding the viscosity requirements of conventional melt-cast explosive casting, which not only increases the difficulty of the charge process, but also further increases the generation of charge defects, ultimately affecting the explosive performance and safety performance of the ammunition charge.

[0003] In order to solve the problem that high-solid-content and high-viscosity explosives are prone to charging defects during charging, the more appropriate solution at present is to use a heat-insulating pressure molding process, that is, after the explosives are injected into the mold or shell, a certain pressure is applied to the surface of the charge, and the charge is heated and insulated at the same time, so as to obtain a relatively dense high-solid-content melt-cast explosive charge without defects such as shrinkage holes, pores, and cracks.

[0004] At present, the devices for pressurizing and molding molten explosives have not been applied, and most of them are designed and manufactured by laboratory personnel and are only used for laboratory exploration and research. Most of these heat preservation and pressurization devices use water bath heating and heat preservation, and the temperature control is not accurate enough; air or liquid is used for pressurization, and the safety of the device is difficult to guarantee; the equipment is large in size and the system is complex, which is inconvenient to use.
