Fluorine Generator

Abstract

The energetic salts NF4AsF6 and N2F4.AsF5 were used in the preparation of fluorine generator grains. Based on thermochemical calculations, blends of these salts with a fuel and fluorocarbon binder were formulated and pressed into solid grains. Stability, compatibility, and sensitivity data were gathered. Solid grains were successfully combusted. Mechanical properties were demonstrated from inert specimen data. Precombustor concepts and insulation materials were evaluated for application to HF/DF laser systems.
