“…Benite also has disadvantages in respect of the ignition synchronicity and the total ignition energy output. Some newly developed igniting techniques could theoretically reduce ignition delay and avoid partial ignition, such as laser ignition [6], electric ignition [7], plasma ignition, and network ignition [8,9], etc. Nevertheless, due to lack of correlative techniques and accessory equipment, most of the above methods are in experimental stage and need more research for practical use.…”

Micro-porous propellants containing titanium powder were obtained by supercritical CO 2 (SC CO 2 ) foaming technique. The morphologies of the micro-porous propellants were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurement. The burning rate, the impetus, and the heat of explosion of the micro-porous propellants were measured by the closed vessel test and the calorimetric bomb test. The results show that the porosity increased with in-creasing titanium powder content; compared with Benite, the burning rate was substantially improved, and the maximum values of the impetus and the isochoric heat of explosion increased by 51.4 % and 6.5 %, respectively. The Ticontaining micro-porous propellants with rapid burning rate and better energetic properties described in this paper may have the potential to replace Benite as igniter material in a flame igniter of a gun propellant charge.
