Abstract

The effect of CuO on the thermal behaviour of Zr/KClO4 primer mixtures was studied by thermoanalytical techniques, and the Bruceton method and its related calculation. It was found that the CuO catalytically promoted the decomposition of Zr/KClO4 primer mixtures and shifted the exothermic peak of DSC curves to lower temperatures. In addition, the Zr/KClO4 primer mixture containing CuO had a significant effect on the firing characteristics of electro-explosive devices.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels thermoanalytischen Verfahren, der Bruceton-Methode und der damit verbundenen Berechnungen wurde der Einfluß von CuO auf das thermische Verhalten von Zr/KClO4 Primärgemischen untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, daß ein Zusatz von CuO die Zersetzung von Zr/KClO4 Primärgemischen katalytisch begünstigt und den exothermen Peak der DTA-Kurve in Richtung niedriger Temperaturen verschiebt. Außerdem haben Zr/KClO4 Primärgemische mit einem Gehalt an CuO einen eindeutigen Einfluß auf die Brenncharakteristik von Elektroexplosi vapparaturen.
