A manual die set includes a ram, the ram defining a bore therethrough; a die, the die defining a bore therethrough for reciprocably receiving the ram; a baseplate having an upper portion and a lower portion and defining a bore therethrough, the upper portion of the baseplate being disposed in a bottom of the die bore, the lower portion of the baseplate supporting the die; a knockout ring for supporting the die; a supporting block disposed in an interior of the knockout ring, for supporting the baseplate when the manual die set is in a pressing configuration, the supporting block defining a bore therethrough; and a mandrel, the mandrel being disposed in the ram bore, the baseplate bore and the supporting block bore when the manual die set is in a pressing configuration, the mandrel including an upper large diameter portion, a transition portion and a lower small diameter portion.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for producing a large-caliber ammunition unit including a combustible or partially combustible propelling charge casing and compacted or partially compacted propelling charge powder, to increase internal ballistic performance. It is known to partially or completely compact or compress the propelling charge powder in a cartridge casing. However, such methods generally cannot be employed for ammunition including a combustible or at least partially combustible propelling charge casing because of the lower strength of the relatively thin-walled combustible casing material, as this would lead to deformation and/or to reduced loadability of such cartridges. The present invention permits the compaction or partial compaction of the propelling charge powder of an ammunition unit including a combustible propelling charge casing in that a pressing mold or matrix is employed which directly encloses the propelling charge casing, with an appropriate annular gap being left free between the inner surface of the propelling charge casing and the outer surface of the press die in dependence on the grain dimension of the propelling charge powder grains to be compacted so that the propelling charge powder can be compacted almost without shear forces with respect to the inner surface of the propelling charge casing.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing an improved lead-free primed rimfire cartridge for ammunition or industrial powerloads providing a gas source for driving fasteners with power-fastening tools. A lead-free priming mixture is consolidated into an annular cavity of a rimfire casing and dried in the cavity. The primer is secured in the cavity by tamping at least a portion of propellant into the casing against and over the dried primer. The tamping pressure per casing may range from 1,300 psi to 8,800 psi. Any remaining portion of required propellent is added over the tamped compacted propellant layer. The ammunition and powerload casings are then sealed and finished in a conventional manner. A rimfire cartridge for both ammunition and industrial powerload applications manufactured as described above is also provided.

摘要:
This invention relates to an apparatus for compressing and monitoring the force of compression detected by a sensor and/or the height of doses of pulverulent materials which are compacted in a container by a punch, wherein it comprises:a spindle for monitoring the force of compaction comprising:a screw-nut system driven in rotation by a driving member,a housing provided with at least one force sensor, interposed between the screw-nut system and the punch and adapted to be displaced in slide by the screw-nut system,and a circuit for servo-control of the driving member in relation with the successive measured values of the force of compaction and with a reference value of force. The invention also relates to a process for controlling the apparatus and to a press for applying same.
摘要:
A propellent charge for cartridge ammunition of propellent powder bodies of a certain geometric form is produced by filling the propellent powder bodies preferably in partial amounts and by means of a suitable funnel into the propellent case and compressing them there without the addition of binders and/or solvents up to a charge density 1.0 to 1.5 g/cc, and that they are shaped elastically to plasticity under substantially uniform and/or gradually varying compression.
摘要:
A ring (9) serves to support a case (1) during pressing of a charge (4) of a warhead. On the side, ring (9) is arranged around the case (1), against which a pressing force is exerted. The inside diameter (d) of ring (9) is smaller than the outside diameter (D) of the case at permanent deformation of the case during pressing without ring (9).
摘要:
A process for the introduction of a charge into a projectile casing, in which the charge is initially rough-pressed or compacted externally of the projectile casing, thereafter inserted into the projectile casing, and subsequently finish-compacted. Subsequent to the rough-pressing of the charge, the charge is brought down to a temperature which is lower than that of the projectile casing, and wherein the charge is introduced into the projectile casing prior to equilibrating the temperature difference.
摘要:
An automatic press for loading and tamping powdered explosive material in ojectile casings. An increment feeder operates in synchronism with the press and feeds successively smaller increments of explosive into the casing, as the casing fills, until the fill cycle is completed.
