METHOD FOR SMELTING OF EXPLOSIVES FROM AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: stripping of ammunition charged with meltable explosives designed for salvaging or repair.

SUBSTANCE: the method consists in placement of ammunition in a bath with a hot liquid heat-transfer agent with a temperature exceeding the smelting point of the explosive, smelting of the explosive and pouring of it from the bath, a turbulent flow of the heat-transfer agent around the bodies of the ammunition is produced, or part of the heat-transfer agent, simultaneously with flowing around, is fed to the ammunition body. Aqueous solutions of metal salts are used as the heat-transfer agent. Pouring out of the explosive is carried out under the layer of the aqueous solution of metal salts.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and safety of the smelting process.
