Pyrotechnic delay element for delay fuzes and its use

摘要

For use in medium-caliber and large-caliber weapon systems, a miniaturized delay element has been developed. This is in a metallic sleeve (1) is realized from copper Wi light metal. Through the inclusion of metallic fuel, an oxidizer from a halogen-containing high polymer and metallocenes as sensitizers to an extremely compact and functional secure delay element can be set up. Through the inclusion of a Anfeuerungszündsatzes from an initiating explosive and a metallocene as a sensitizer, the delay element may also be formed for initiations without flame, for striker piercing needles etc..; The pyrotechnic Verzögerungslement is particularly suitable because of its properties for use in highly delayed charges and / or daughter bullets and / or to self-destruction of ammunition. The delay times achieved can be defined experimentally and reproducible from 1 to about 30 seconds.
