COOL BURNING GUN PROPELLANTS

摘要

of the Invention A family of gun propellants formulated with triaminoguanidine nitrate and cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine to reduce the isochoric flame temperature while providing high mass impetus. The invention overcomes the problem of gun barrel warping by providing a 20% to 30% lower isochoric flame temperature than those of conventional military propellants, while yielding comparable or higher mass impetus.
