A sturdy on the adhesion properties of solid propellants, liners, and insulation was carried out according to the types of barrier coats. A barrier coats were used to prevent migration of the plasticizer or curative between the propellant/liner/insulation, and the barrier coat was selected out of Isocyanates with different molecular weight and number of -NCO in one molecule. As a result, it was found that the more the -NCO group and the larger molecular weight, the stronger adhesion. In addition, as a result of experiments about effects of the pot life after applying the barrier coat on bond strength, the adhesion strength was shown to increase as the pot life was short.

The extinction characteristics of the solid propellant were studied experimentally in this paper. These characteristics are required for designing TCO (thrust cut off) system of the solid rocket motor Parameters to characterize solid propellant extinction were defined by physical observation. A device was designed (or acquiring these parameters and the firing tests were implemented to get the preliminary data for the extinction characteristics of HTBP propellant.

In order to measure the acoustic amplification factor of an Al/HTPB propellant, T-burner tests using pulsed DB/AB method were conducted. In the experiment, powdered aluminum content was varied to a certain extent. Simultaneous ignition on the internal surface of a propellant was achieved by the use of a fast ignition disk. From the experimental data, the damping factor for a non-zero aluminum content could not be calculated due to the fast attenuation of perturbed pressure. Therefore, the addition of aluminum particle was more than sufficient to stabilize pressure-coupled instability.

In this study, we measured burning rates of solid propellants which has various burning rates until 5000 psia, and we evaluated measurement accuracy of ultrasonic method by analyzing error of burning rates. Also, We compared result of burning rates by using ultrasonic method with strand burner method so that characteristics of two measurements method are evaluated.

To measure burning rate of solid propellants using ultrasonic technique, a special closed bomb and an ultrasonic and pressure measurement system are fabricated. During pressurization tests and burning tests on propellants, ultrasonic and pressure signal are acquired in realtime fashion by this system. Based on acquired signals, analysis programs using two different algorithm which can measure burning rates corresponding to pressures are compared. One algorithm is to correct sound velocity variation of propellants and solid couplant, another one is only to correct sound velocity variation of propellants. And accuracies of homing rates measured through these algorithms are calculated through comparison with homing rates measured using strand burner method.

액체로켓엔진의 단일추진제 가스발생기는 연료공급 시스템의 터보펌프를 구동시키기 위한 작동가스 생성을 목적으로 사용된다. 고체추진제 가스발생기와 비교할 경우 작동시간이 보다 길고 연소생성물에 의한 터빈 블레이드의 삭마가 없으며 제어가 용이하므로 초기 액체로켓엔진 개발시부터 사용되어 왔다. 80년대 이후 개발된 액체로켓엔진은 이원추진제 가스발생기 또는 연소가스 FEEDBACK 시스템을 채용하고 있지만 단일추진제 가스발생기는 과산화수소수 또는 하이드라진과 같은 별도의 추진제 공급 시스템을 필요로 하는 단점에도 불구하고 상대적으로 낮은 온도의 무연 작동 가스를 발생하므로 가스발생기 자체를 위한 냉각시스템을 제거 또는 최소화 시켜 간단한 구조로 전체 시스템 설계를 가능하게 하므로 중소형 액체로켓엔진에 사용되고 있다.

The limit values of mechanical properties(MPs) of HTPB/AP/Al Solid Propellant was reviewed according to the rocket motor development procedures and the in-process values of MPs were analyzed by the tool of Process Capability Index. Based on finding the dependency among MPs, the optimization is proposed for reducing the properties defects and for improving the rocket grain safeties.

This study is about the changes in mechanical and combustion properties after the production of the combustion catalysts FeOOH and Fe₂O₃ having the same manufacturing method and application to the solid propellant. In order to make the FeOOH and Fe₂O₃ having the same manufacturing method, FeOOH was calcined at 200, 300, 400, 500℃ for 2 h, and the XRD results were confirmed. In addition, after applying the prepared catalyst to a solid propellant, it exhibited change in mechanical and combustion properties. As result of XRD, FeOOH was confirmed to change the crystal phase from Geothtie to Hematite between 200 and 300℃. The stress of the propellant hardly changed as the calcination temperature of the combustion catalyst incredsed, but the elongation increased when catalyst was calcined. the maximum value at 300℃. The burning rate confirmed that FeOOH without calcination was about 3~5% faster than other catalysts.

혼합형 고체추진제에는 연소속도를 증가시키는 촉매로서 철,구리,크롬등 전이금속 $화합물^1$ 이 사용되고 있다. 현재 당공장에서 양산되는 개량형 추진기관의 추진제에 철화합물인 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 가 사용되는데 그동안 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 를 공급해온 미국 Columbian chemical co.에서 생산을 중단함에 따라 새로운 수급이 필요하게 되었다. 이에 이원료의 안정적인 공급을 위해 국산 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 로 대체 개발하기 위해 국산 원료의 시장조사, 샘플 입수, 그리고 원료분석을 실시하였지만 당공장에서 사용해온 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 의 원료규격중 순도, 산도(PH값), 입도등 중요항목을 만족할만한 국산 원료는 발견하지 못했다. 하지만 국내 제조업체중 제조능력 및 시설을 고려하여 일신종합화학(인천 소재)을 선정한 다음 제조 공정의 개선을 통하여 당공장 사용 원료을 만족하는 원료를 생산할 수 있었고, 개향형 추진 기관의 추진제에 적용하여 추진제 공정성, 물성, 그리고 가장 중요한 연소특성을 만족하는 국산 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 를 개발에 성공하여 양산에 적용하고 있다.
