Material Assessment of L97A1/L96A1 Grenades by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric Analysis

Abstract

An effort was warranted to verify the material used the L97A1/L96A1 grenades due to a material deviation. The L97A1/L96A1 grenade drawings call for a 43% glass-filled nylon 6-12; however, it was discovered that a 30% glass-filled Nylon 6 may have been used instead. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis will be used to analyze the materials.
