Definition of a JA2 equivalent propellant to be produced by continuous solvent-less extrusion
conference paper
The aim of this work is to demonstrate the manufacturing of a propellant by solvent-less continuous twin screw extrusion processing while maintaining gun performance characteristics of conventional JA-2 propellant. This is elucidated by explicitly researching the relationship between interior ballistic properties of the gun propellant and utilizing continuous manufacturing process using modeling and simulation codes. Processing conditions were established and the propellant was manufactured accordingly. The extruded propellant has the desired properties which resulted in a comparable gun performance as the conventional JA-2 propellant.
