Combustion and Radiometric Studies of Magnesium/Teflon/Viton (MTV) by Partial Replacement of Teflon

MTV compositions are widely used in Infrared (IR) decoy flares because of the very high IR radiation emitted, in addition to the benefits of extended life and safety in handling. In this study, Teflon was partially replaced to modify the radiometric behavior in terms of Spectral efficiency and/or linear burn rate. A 100 g batch of MTV composition was processed by replacing Teflon with oxidizers such as Sodium Nitrate, Barium Nitrate, Cesium Nitrate, Manganese Dioxide and Bismuth Trioxide. The baseline MTV composition has 45 wt% Teflon which was partially replaced with the oxidizers ranging from 5 wt% to 25 wt%. Radiometric measurement was carried out for each composition. IR intensity and burn time measurement were carried out in 1.8–2.6 µm and 3–5 µm using a Dual-band IR radiometer. Compositions were also evaluated for Calorific Value (Cal Val), impact, friction and spark sensitivity. Spectral efficiencies in both wavebands were maximum at 5 wt% Sodium Nitrate, Barium Nitrate, Cesium Nitrate, Manganese Dioxide and at 10 wt% of Bismuth Trioxide. The linear burn rate increased with an increase in oxidizer, except for Bismuth Trioxide. The IR intensity ratio decreases with an increase in oxidizer. REAL Thermochemical code was used to calculate the various equilibrium parameters of the MTV compositions and to find out the chemical species formed along with the equilibrium temperature. These data are correlated with the spectral data obtained during the combustion of the MTV compositions using an SR-5000N Spectro-radiometer.
