You asked for opinions on building
materials lately. I send you a
link
to a test of Norwegian Silencers.
Take a look at the picture showing the huge flames
from a titanium silencer ( on Dakota .330").
LM: Such ugly Flares are not unknown to me. See

Nachverbrennung allerfeinster Güte. Das Ding ist keine Bremse sondern ein
Anzünder für entflammbare heiße Pulvergase!
Siehe
Film!
LM: To view more Flames, please take a Look at
Fuchsbremsennachbau.
I ask myself, if it possible that the titanium can catalyse a
combustion of unburnd powdergaz from the load?
Morten Opsahl, Norway
Dear Mr. Opsahl,
when You look at the first Picture on this Page from Your
Norwegian Magazine „Norwegian Fire“, You may notice
three consecutive Stages after the Muzzle
-
Gas invisibly escapes the Muzzle
-
A small Gas cone shines yellow
-
A big shining Flame occurs
From an unarmed Muzzle "Stage 1" creates no Worries at all.
The little shining Gas cone after that, "Stage 2", again disturbs not, but
stage 3 " Flame" disturbs the Hunter.
Why is that? "Secondary Combustion" happens, when hot
combustible Gases meet Air with ~21 % Oxygen and the Mixture is hot enough
to lighten the combustible Mixture, so that "secondary Combustion" occurs, i.e.
primarily combusted Material again with ambient Air combusts.
How to avoid secondary _Combustion?
will be later continued . . .
Dear Mr. Opsahl,
Your Answer is still in the
Works. I will continue later. Flame can be avoided, but
other than You think.
