Domestic 105mm HE (High Explosive) shell is composed of three parts that are Fuze, Projectile and Propellants. Among three parts, propelling charge of propellants part consists of single base propellants. It has been known that the lifespan of single base propellants is affected by a storage period. These are because Nitrocellulose (NC) which is the main component of propelling gunpowder can be naturally decomposed to unstable substances similar with other nitric acid ester. Even though it cannot be prevented fundamentally from being disassembled, a decomposition product ($NO_2$, $NO_3$, and $HNO_3$) and tranquillizer DPA (Diphenylamine) having high reactivity are added into a propellant to restrain induction of automatic catalysis by a decomposition product. The decay rate of the tranquillizer is also affected by a production rate of the decomposition product of NC. Therefore, an accurate prediction of the Self-Life is required to ensure against risks such as explosion. Hereupon, this paper presents a new methodology to estimate the shelf-life of single base propellants using data of ASRP (Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program) to domestic 105mm HE (propelling charge of propellants part). We selected four attributes that are inferred to have influence on distribution of the DPA amount in a propellant from the ASRP dataset through data mining processes. Then the selected attributes were used as independent variables in a regression analysis in order to estimate the shelf-life of single base propellants.

The danger of self-ignition of single base propellants will increase with time. Therefore, a good prediction of the safe storage time is very important. In order to determine the remaining shelf-life of the propellants, the content of stabilizer is determined. The propellants stored under normal storage conditions about 10 to 18 years were investigated and accelerated aging test was carried out by storing propellant sample at higher temperature. Finally, we analyzed the results by various methods in order to show the best way to predict the realistic shelf-life. The safe storage life of the propellants will be 24 years, at least 15 years. In case of applying Arrhenius's law, using the reaction rate constant at 28$^{\circ}C$ to 30$^{\circ}C$ to predict the shelf-life by accelerated aging test is reasonable for a good prediction.

본 연구에서는 단기 추진제에 NGD를 A%, B%(2A=B) 추가하여 추진제를 제조 하였다. 그리고 추진제 연소속도에 영향을 주는 인자인 잔류용제와 수분 및 휘발분, 추진제 Grain크기를 분석하여 비교하였다. 또한 제작된 NGD-A% 추진제와 NGD-B%추진제를 시험 사격을 통해 비교하였다. 그 결과 NGD-A% 추진제가 유사 압력에서 NGD-B% 추진제보다 높은 속도를 나타내는 것을 확인 하였다.

Single base propellant using a nitrate ester compound NC decomposes naturally during storage time. Therefore, the research for storage life extension is necessary to single base propellant. In this research, $CaCO_3$ inorganic stabilizer had been added into single base propellants up to 0.3%, and the accelerated aging test of the propellant was started. And then, with applying the Arrhenius equation, the storage life of the test of the propellant was contrasted with that of reference propellant. As a result, the storage life of the propellant containing $CaCO_3$ inorganic stabilizer was about twice longer than the reference propellant.

단기추진제는 Nitrocellulose를 주요 에너지원으로 사용하는 추진제이다. 추진제의 정확한 저장 수명 예측은 인적, 물적 자원의 비용 절감 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 안정제 함량 변화모사에 대해 n차 반응속도 모델을 적용하여 최적의 반응차수를 도출하고, 이에 따른 저장 수명을 예측하였다. 고온가속노화시험 결과로부터 최적의 반응차수는 1.15481로 도출되었으며, 이때의 추정표준오차(${\times}100$ 기준)는 16.284로 나타났다. 일반 저장온도 범위를 $21^{\circ}C$에서 $30^{\circ}C$로 가정하면, 본 시험에 사용된 단기추진제는 약 35년에서 최대 140년까지 저장 수명이 예측되었다. 정확한 저장 수명을 예측하기 위해서는 탄약 저장고내 온도 분포를 데이터화하여 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.
