EnglishThe established state-of-the-art for composite solid propellant grain manufacture consists in mix-cast-cure process using hazardous chemicals and specific molds for propellant forming. In most of the cases, polyaddition of oligomers involves isocyanate functional groups. Construction constraints limit the feasibility of propellant geometries, confining the pressure-time history of rocket motors to some established configurations. Composition pot-life becomes one of the most important parameters in the definition of correlated industrial processes. The present patent propose an additive manufacturing process for propellant grain production based on UV curing. This technique enables more complex grain geometries, paving the way for new propulsive missions, thanks to customized thrust-time profiles or local composition fine tuning. The new curative method makes innovative use of pre-polymers, replacing isocyanates with UV-sensitive components characterized by lower chemical hazard for operators.

| Abstract: | The established state-of-the-art for composite solid propellant grain manufacture consists in mix-cast-cure process using hazardous chemicals and specific molds for propellant forming. In most of the cases, polyaddition of oligomers involves isocyanate functional groups. Construction constraints limit the feasibility of propellant geometries, confining the pressure-time history of rocket motors to some established configurations. Composition pot-life becomes one of the most important parameters in the definition of correlated industrial processes. The present patent propose an additive manufacturing process for propellant grain production based on UV curing. This technique enables more complex grain geometries, paving the way for new propulsive missions, thanks to customized thrust-time profiles or local composition fine tuning. The new curative method makes innovative use of pre-polymers, replacing isocyanates with UV-sensitive components characterized by lower chemical hazard for operators. | |
