摘要:
A single- or multiple-base powder charge for propellants is made up of at least one powder grain in the form of a shaped mass of powder having at least one internal cavity. The diameters of the internal cavities within the powder grains making up the charge are different and at least a portion thereof is smaller than the critical diameter that corresponds to the ignition pressure and that governs the penetration of the ignition flame into the internal cavities. With this arrangement at least a portion of the internal cavities is ignited with a retardation only by gas pressures that rise above the ignition pressure.
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.

The present invention pertains to fin-stabilized projectile ammunition, in which fin-stabilized projectiles are arranged in a cartridge case filled with propellant charge powder. According to the present invention, the spaces between the fins of the tail plane (4) of the fin-stabilized projectile (13) are filled with prefabricated shaped bodies (7) made from propellant charge powders. These shaped bodies in the ammunition are adjacent to the propellant charge powder in the cartridge case, and permit optimal utilization of the free space between the tail plane fins (20) of the projectiles being filled with high-energy propellant charge. Furthermore, the shaped bodies according to the present invention prevent corrosion of the tail plane fins during the burning off of the ammunition, and facilitate the manufacture of the ammunition.
