PYROTECHNIC MATERIAL AND METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: pyrotechnic materials. SUBSTANCE: material, in particular, is designed for pyrotechnic chains appropriate for use in retention systems with single or multiple chains to transfer lighting and detonation. Material consists of at least two different materials simultaneously deposited in the form of vapors such as to form single-phase, essentially irregular structure, the two materials being optionally subjected to common exothermic process. When heated, materials turn into those with more regular structure. One of the materials (transition metal) is electron donor and the other (IIIB or IVB group element) is electron acceptor. Pyrotechnic material is prepared via simultaneously depositing materials mainly by means of spraying with unbalanced magnetron. EFFECT: increased velocity and improved steadiness of propagation of reaction throughout material, and facilitated rapid control of relative proportions of pyrotechnic material constituents. 9 cl, 9 dwg
