Mechanical Response of Virgin and Aged RDX/CL20/BAMO/AMMO-Based High-Energy Gun Propellants

摘要

The subject of this report is the material test systems servohydraulic tester high-rate mechanical response of TSE-015-019 sample nos. 5 and 6 RDX/CL20/BAMO/AMMO-layered gun propellants that were aged for more than 2 years. The Thiokol manufactured materials identified by lot TSE-015-019 were initially tested (virgin lot) in September 1997 and January 2000. Sample no. 4 was a candidate propellant for the M829E3 120-mm tank gun round of test sets 28- 34/FY00.
