Research on the Jet Milling Process of Oxidizer for Solid Propellant

Abstract

The particle size of the oxidizer used by the solid rocket propellant has a great impact on the combustion performance of the grain. In order to study the influence law of the oxidizer used for the jet milling, the jet milling process test system is constructed. The influence of the main process parameters on the average particle size was studied by single-factor test.The orthogonal test was designed, and the prediction model of the relationship between particle size and milling pressure, milling chamber material mass and classification wheel speed was established using multiple linear regression method, and the significance analysis and the prediction test were conducted.The results show that the particle size prediction model is significant, and the classification wheel speed affects the average particle size the most, followed by milling pressure and milling chamber material mass.The conclusion is that the deviation of the milling average particle size under the prediction model acquisition process parameters is between 1.79%∼5.88%, and the prediction model acquisition process parameters can be obtained to mill the AP with the average particle size requirements of different specifications.
