Inhibitor for Gun Propellants.
Abstract
This invention relates to gun propellants. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for improving the efficiency of and lowering the peak pressure produced by high force, high flame temperature gun propellants. Bore erosion produced by the aforementioned double base and single base gun propellants can be significantly reduced by coating the propellant grains with an oligomer. Also, peak pressure is reduced and pieziometric efficiency is improved by utilizing the coating of this invention.
