Both heating and solvent-spray methods are used to consolidate the standard grains of double-base oblate sphere propellants plasticized with triethyleneglycol dinitrate(TEGDN)(TEGDN propellants) to high density propellants.The obtained consolidated propellants are deterred and coated with the slow burning multi-layer coating.The maximum compaction density of deterred and coated consolidated propellants can reach up to 1.39 g/cnv.Their mechanic,deconsolidation and combustion performances are tested by the materials test machine,interrupted burning set-up and closed vessel,respectively.The static compression strength of consolidated propellants deterred by multi-layer coating increases significantly to 18 MPa,indicating that they can be applied in most circumstances of charge service.And the samples are easy to deconsolidate in the interrupted burning test.Furthermore,the closed bomb burning curves of the samples indicate a two-stage combustion phenomenon under the condition of certain thickness of coated multi-layers.After the outer deterred multi-layer coating of consolidated samples is finished burning,the inner consolidated propellants continue to bum and breakup into aggregates and grains.The high burning progressivity can be carefully obtained by the smart control of deconsolidation process and duration of consolidated propellants.The preliminary results of consolidated propellants show that a rapid deconsolidation process at higher deconsolidation pressure is presented in the dynamic vivacity curves of closed bomb test.Higher density and higher macro progressivity of consolidated propellants can be obtained by the techniques in this paper.
