Explosive Behavior of Aluminized Ammonium Perchlorate

摘要

Addition of aluminum to ammonium perchlorate (AP) increases its infinite diameter detonation velocity, decreases its critical diameter and (at sufficiently low % TMD) the Eyring reaction zone length. For 7-9 microns AP and 7 microns Al, the maximum of these effects occurred at about 10% Al. Regular detonation behavior could be observed only in the range of 55 to 40 (or lower) % TMD. All mixtures tested in this range exhibited group 2 behavior as does AP itself. (Author)
