Evaluation of Adhesives for Use in the Hi Frag 5 inch/54 Projectile

Abstract

The adhesive-bonding characteristics of four polymeric materials (untreated cross-linked polyethylene, surface-flame-treated cross-linked polyethylene, nylon-12 and ethyl cellulose) with two ad-hesives (epoxy and urethane) and the explosive PBXN-106 were eval-uated in light of their potential use in the 56/54 High Fragmenta-tion (Hi-Frag) Projectile. The failure mechanisms of each of these systems and the effect of thermal aging on the fabricated adhesive joints are discussed. Recommendations are made concerning the choice of optimal beaker and adhesive materials for use in the Hi-Frag projectile. (Author-PL)
