Class Application Number: Lodged: Complete Specification Lodged: Acceptedt Published: 0 Piority: oelated Art: a 0 0 Name of Applicant: .Address of Applicant: THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR DEFENCE IN HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY’S GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND Whitehall, London SWlA.2HB, England 0 4 ci cici Actual Inventor(s): Address for Service: FREDERICK GEORGE ALLFORD DAVIES COLLISON, Patent Attorneys, 1 Little Collins Street, Melbourne, 3000.
Complete specification for the invention entitled: “PYROTECHNIC TRAIN” The following statement is a full descript-‘-n of this invention, including the best method of performing it &’nown to us 1- To: THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS (a member of the firm of DAVIES COLLISON for and on behalf of the Applicant).
Davies Collison, Melbourne and Canberra: 28 011901 2808 8 1A Pyrotechnic Train This invention relates to a pyrotechnic train, in I particular but not exclusively, suitable for use in single or multitrain delay systems. It is also applicable to bridgewire I detonators and may be further adapted to provide infra-red i 5 radiation emitting coatings for decoy systems.
Multi-train pyrotechnic delay systems are known for I initiating complex sequences of events, in a missile for example, I t These delay systems are normally constucted from known delay cords comprising lead tubes which are first packed with a prepared 10 granular pyrotechnic composition, consisting of materials which are selected, prepared and mixed in specific ratios to achieve desired S burning rates. The packed tubes are then fine drawn, cut to length, g v shaped and manually assembled with appropriate coupling components.
The whole process is lengthy and operator dependent, has high tooling costs, requires clean room assembly and can be hazardous.
n The resulting multi-train is also disadvantageous in having a Snumber of undesirable interfaces and inconsistent burning times.
Furthermore there are problems attendant upon the use of such multi- Cc t train systems within an en’closed capsule in that the lead casing, which melts during burning, becomes spattered around possibly damaging other items in the capsule, such as plastics materials casings. Also, the pressure of the gases generated during burning by the fairly large volume of pyrotechnic composition can be embarassingly high especially when the capsule is used at very low J 25 ambient pressure.
The present invention seeks to overcome these difficulties by providing a pyrotechnic train capable of having greater precision and greater inherent strength than that achievable with granular compositions, and having a production method amenable to aU omation.
Further, in a first aspect of the invention, the invention seeks to provide a fully sealable delay train.
2 In a second aspect, the invention seeks to provide an exposable pyrotechnic train which, when ignited, will radiate a pre-determined spectrum of wavelengths, and in a third aspect the invention seeks to provide a bridge ignitor having a reaction time comparable with that of an exploding bridgewire, but having greater reliability.
In accordance with the present invention, a pyrotechnic train includes a reactive laminate comprised by a plurality of films of an electron donor material alternately interlayered with a trill 10 plurality of films of an electron acceptor material, each sequentially vapour deposited upon a substrate, the said two t6 materials being conjointly capable of exothermic reaction when o subjected to heat.
~~o Preferably, each film is subsequentially deposited by 15 vacuum deposition or by sputtering, the deposition process being controlled to ensure that the thickness of each film is of substantially molecular order so as to maximise molecular o intermingling of the film materials throughout the thickness of the 4 1 laminate.
t 20 Ignition of the conjoint electron donor and electron acceptor films at any selected location initiates a selfsustaining, exothermic reaction between the molecules which progresses laterally along the film interfaces. The number and thickness of the films is selected to be sufficient to ensure a reliable and consistent lateral progression characteristic.
The reactive laminate may further include one or more films of a moderating material selectively interlayered with the said reactive films during the deposition piocess so as to moderate the lateral progression characteristic, thereby to achieve a desired burning rate. The moderating material may also be selected to inject desired frequencies into the resulting radiation spectrum.
In the first aspect of the invention, ie a sealable delay train, the substrate comprises an inert material which is preferably a poor thermal conductor so as to minimise diminution of
A
the exothermic reaction, and may conveniently be a glass or ceramic material. If however, further moderation or variation of the progression characteristic is desired the thermal conductivity of the support member may be appropriately selected.
The lateral dimensions of the reactive laminate are selected to define the width and length of a desired reaction progression path. These may be determined by the configuration of the substrate itself. The films may be deposited upon one whole surface of a planar substrate and subsequently processed by known *t t 0 10,, printed circuit techniques, to produce any desired planar configuration of progression path. In an alternative method, the I .f planar substrate may be masked prior to deposition so as to permit o deposition of the reactive films upon the substrate in the desired F ioconfiguration only.
15 15 Either of these latter two planar methods is particularly advantageous for the manufacture of complex multi-train systems, as the integral deposition of all the progression paths of the system Sthus made possible eliminates the need for undesirable r 2 interconnections.
A planar arrangement is also to be preferred in the first aspect of the invention when sealed confinement of the progression paths is required, an overlaid cover of ptfe or of an inert material, preferably of low thermal conduc.ivity, being readily sealable to the substrate. Such confinement acts both to contain I~ 25 the reaction and to control the pressure of the reaction and hence the burning rate. Consequently the closeness of confinement may be varied to provide further control of the progression characteristic.
In a second aspect of the invention, ie a radiation emitter, reactive and moderating materials are selectively employed to provide a heat output train having a specific radiation spectrum.
In the third aspect of the invention, ie a bridge ignitor, the reactive laminate is used to provide a brisant reaction progression path between two electrodes adjacent a detonating r charge, the laminate being vapour-deposited directly upon a conventional insulating support for the electrodes.
Embodiments of the invention and mpthods of manufacture will now be described by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings of which Figure 1 is a plan view of a sealed planar pyrotechnic multi-train, Figure 2 is a sectioned elevation taken on the line II-II of Figure i, Figure 3 is a sectioned elevation of an alternative terminal arrangement for the multi-train of Figure i, and S Figure 4 is an axially sectioned view of a bridge ignitor.
t The pyrotechnic multi-train illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a ceramic support plate 1 upon which is superimposed a network of reactive laminate progression paths 2 variously iilterconnecting and extending into edge terminals 3 to 7. The network of paths 2 is overlaid by a correspondingly configured cover 8 of ceramic which is peripherally sealed to the support plate 1, o*o except at the terminals 3 to 7.
S Each path 2 comprises a stack of alternately deposited coreactive films 9 and 10, and has one interleaved moderating film 11.
,The films 9 and 10 are respectively of electron acceptor and electron donor materials, those used in the present example being lead oxide for films 9 and titanium for films 10. Film 11 is f optional and may be of an inert material such as silicon.
The paths 2 are formed upon the plate 1 in a method of manufacture now to be described.
One whole face of the support plate 1 is first suitably prepared and then completely coated with the films 9, 10 and 11 in appropriate sequence using conventional vacuum deposition equipment (not shown). The deposition source materials, eg lead oxide, titanium and silicon, are each located in separate vaporising boats and vaporised in turn by electron beam in an atmosphere of argon.
To ensure a reliable reaction progression characteristic the thickness of each deposited film 9, 10 and 11 is preferably no
T
i greater than 2Lm, films of greater thickness being undesirable as their heat of absorption may be sufficient to destroy the exothermic nature of the interlayer reaction. The total number of reaction films 9 and 10 required is dependent upon the thickness and the thermal conductivity of the support plate, ie upon its effectiveness as a heat sink. Using anl,, ms, prtplate of ana support paeo Imm thickness having a thermal conductivity of 17W/m, a deposition’ of 100 films 9 and 100 films 10, each of 0.5 m thickness, has been found effective. (Only a few films are illustrated in the interest i0 of clarity).
Sl, The thus deposited films 9, 10 and 11 each have a columnar S4, crystal lattice structure which is intermolecularly engaged with ,aOo each next adjacent lattice providing a reactive laminate which once ignited will sustain an inter-lattice exothermic reaction.
4449 After completion of the deposition process, the required areas of the deposited laminate, ie the network of paths 2, are i masked with an acid resistant coating (not shown) and the remaining areas of the films removed by acid etching in the manner of known printed circuit board production techniques. The plate 8 is then superimposed and edge-sealed to the support plate 1, by means of a K compatible sealant (not shown).
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a similar network of paths 2 can be alternatively achieved by masking the support plate prior to deposition of the film 9, 10 and 11.
In use, the progression path network is ignited electrically, or by friction or by heat donor source at a selected Sone of the terminals, terminal 3 for example, and the resulting exothermic reaction progresses along the paths 2 at uniform rate to provide an ignition source at each of the remaining terminals 4 to 7 at intervals precisely determined by the lengths of the intervening paths. In application, all or any of the terminals 4 to 7 may be used to initiate other ongoing delays or terminal events.
A further alternative method of manufacture requires the use of a photo sensitive glass for the support plate i, of a type 6 well known for printed circuit production, which is rendered less resistant to exposure to ultra-violet radiation. The plate 1 of this material can be first masked with the desired configuration of progression paths, exposed to ultra-violet radiation, and then etched so as to form a pierced template of the path network, which template is subsequently subjected to vacuum deposition of the reactive laminate as previously described. Sealing of the progression paths manufactured in this manner may be achieved by S410 encapsulating the coated template between the cover 8 and a T 10 supplementary base plate (not shown).
An alternative terminal arrangement is illustrated in Figure 3 for use when access to the multi-train is required through o the thickness of the plate 1. In this arrangement, suitably shaped Sholes 12 are provided in the plate 1 before the commencement of the 0000 deposition process, the edges of which holes become coated with the reactive laminate during subsequent deposition in common with the planar surface of the plate.
0000 0 It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other, o more complex delay train networks can be produced in accordance with 4 t the invention. For example, specialised event initiators can be formed integrally with the paths at selected terminals during manufacture. In addition, alternative routes can be built into any particular multi-train so as to permit selection of delay times.
The first aspect of the invention is also applicable to the manufacture of track plates for the provision of multiple simultaneous ignition for the initiation of explosive or pyrotechnic devices in a wide variety of geometric configurations.
The vapour deposited reactive laminate of the invention is inherently stronger than granular pyrotechnic compositions and is therefore advantageous in use in the second aspect of the invention, in that no protective external covering is required. In this aspect the reactive and moderating materials employed in the laminate can be selected to provide a heat output train having a specific radiation spectrum. A further advantage lies in the wide 7 choice of materials that can be readily vapour deposited thus permitting provision of a comprehensive range of wavelengths in the radiation spectrum.
In its third aspect, the invention provides a ready means of fabricating electrically sensitive detonators and igniferous initiators. A conventional cylindrical arrangement is illustrated in Figure 4, in which a first electrode in the form of a pin 40 is held coaxially within a cylindrical second electrode 41 by means of an insulating bush 42, the reactive laminate 43 being deposited o 10 directly onto the annular end face of the bush adjacent a detonator o charge 44, thereby providing a reliable multi-radial reaction o° o progression path between the two electrodes capable of violent OO reaction at relatively low voltage. Such arrangements can also be used as an ignitor, merely by reducing the voltage applied to the 0 15 electrodes.
Another similar application of the invention is in the preparation of fast acting electrical cut-out fuses (not shown).
