Abstract

A detonator (igniter) mixture which can be initiated with relatively little energy contains about 1-5 % by weight of carbon black and this ensures that the said mixture can be reliably ignited by a laser. The igniter mixture consists of very finely divided constituents, with an exothermically (high temperature) combusting metal powder, such as zirconium, titanium or boron, having a particle size of < 3 mu m.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine laserempfindliche Anzündmischung.The invention relates to a laser-sensitive ignition mixture.

Aus der US-PS 39 56 991 ist ein lichtempfindlicher Detonator als Bestandteil eines Bomblett-Zünders angegeben. Die Zusammensetzung des Detonators ist jedoch nicht bekannt.From US-PS 39 56 991 is a light-sensitive detonator as a component of a bomblet detonator. The composition of the detonator is not known, however.

Bei der Anzündmischung, die über einen Laser initiierbar ist, kommt es darauf an, daß eine relativ geringe Wärmemenge, die aus der Absorption der Laserstrahlung herrührt, zur Anzündung ausreicht. Wenn diese Forderung erfüllt ist, wird die Entzündung des Satzes nicht verhindert, wenn die optischen Fenster durch die der Laser eingestrahlt wird, verschmutzt sind. Im feldmäßigen Einsatz können keine großen Energiequellen benutzt werden. Eine geringe Energie muß aber noch zur sicheren Reaktion ausreichen.The ignition mixture, which can be initiated by a laser, comes it indicates that a relatively small amount of heat comes from absorption the laser radiation originates, sufficient for ignition. If this demand is true, the inflammation of the sentence is not prevented if the optical windows through which the laser is irradiated are dirty are. No large energy sources can be used in field use will. A low energy must still be enough for a safe reaction.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anzündmischung anzugeben, die bei einer verhältnismäßig geringen Entzündungstemperatur durch einen Laser anzündbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying an ignition mixture, that at a relatively low ignition temperature can be ignited by a laser.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 zu entnehmen.The solution to this problem is the characterizing features of claim 1 refer to.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous further developments are specified in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anzündmischung zeichnet sich durch einen relativ niedrigen Entzündungspunkt aus. Maßgebend hierfür ist eine Zumischung von Ruß, der die eingestrahlte Energie nahezu vollständig absorbiert und in Wäreme umwandelt. The ignition mixture according to the invention is characterized by a relative low inflammation point. A decisive factor here is an admixture of soot, which almost completely absorbs the radiated energy and converted into heat.  

In dem engen geometrischen Bereich von wenigen mm2, auf den der Laserstrahl auftrifft, muß nicht nur die Energie absorbiert werden, sondern in diesem kleinen Bereich muß auch die richtige Zusammensetzung bestehen, damit die Redoxreaktion initiiert werden kann. Die Korngrößen müssen klein genug sein, damit auch im genannten Bereich die richtige Zusammensetzung anzutreffen ist. Kleinere Teile lassen sich auch wegen ihrer geringen Wärmekapazität leichter auf die Starttemperatur bringen.In the narrow geometrical area of a few mm 2 , on which the laser beam strikes, not only the energy must be absorbed, but also the correct composition must exist in this small area so that the redox reaction can be initiated. The grain sizes must be small enough so that the correct composition can also be found in the range mentioned. Smaller parts can also be brought to the starting temperature more easily because of their low heat capacity.

Mit Kupferoxid oder Vanadiumpentoxid als Katalysator liegt eine leichter zündbare Anzündmischung mit beschleunigter, jedoch konstanter Reaktion der Anzündmischung vor.With copper oxide or vanadium pentoxide as a catalyst more easily ignitable ignition mixture with accelerated but constant Ignition mixture reaction before.

Bei dem Ruß kommt es darauf an, daß er eine möglichst intensive Farbtiefe und ein möglichst niedriges Reflektionsvermögen aufweist. Damit liegt dann eine hohe Absorptionsfähigkeit vor, um Lichtenergie in Wärmeenergie umzuwandeln.It is important for the soot to be as intense as possible Depth of color and the lowest possible reflectivity. Then there is a high absorption capacity, around light energy convert into thermal energy.

Mit einem Rubinlaser bei einer Frequenz von 694,3 nm und einem Energiebereich von 50 bis 500 mJ wurden bei einem Satzgewicht von 30 mg folgende Ergebnisse erreicht:
Die Distanz zwischen dem zu entzündenden Satz und dem Laser betrug 2,5 bis 3,00 m. Die Zielfläche an der Anzündmischung betrug 7 mm2, 12,6 mm2 oder 19,6 mm2. With a ruby laser at a frequency of 694.3 nm and an energy range from 50 to 500 mJ, the following results were achieved with a set weight of 30 mg:
The distance between the set to be lit and the laser was 2.5 to 3.00 m. The target area at the ignition mixture was 7 mm 2 , 12.6 mm 2 or 19.6 mm 2 .

Bei den vorgenannten Anzündmischungen lagen jeweils für das Zirkon Korngrößen von 1,7 µm vor.In the case of the aforementioned ignition mixtures, zirconia was used Grain sizes of 1.7 microns.
