PHOSPHORUS FILLING FOR MUNITIONS
Abstract
In a continuation of the study of P fillings for munitions, additional resin binders for granulated white P were tested. Several commercial preparations were found to harden readily at room temperature and to form stable mixtures with granulated P. Tests of commercial resins are being continued. Firing have shown that the performance of rigidly solid P fillings is dependent upon the bursting charge. High-brisance bursters invariably fragment the filling excessively with resultant pillaring of the combustion products. Burster charges of a propellant powder produced relatively little fragmentation and little pillaring.
