X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Composite Propellants for Army Missile Systems

Abstract

Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometric procedures were developed for the determination of ingredient percentages and average particle sizes in uncured and cured solid composite propellants of interest in Army missile systems. Three different types of propellant analyses were investigated as follows: the determination of ingredient percentages with solids particle sizes held constant; the in-situ determination of ammonium perchlorate and aluminum particle sizes with ingredient percentages held constant; and The simultaneous determination of ingredient percentages and solids particle sizes.
