Condensed phase energetic time delay compositions

摘要

An environmentally safe, nontoxic energetic time delay composition useful in small diameter aluminum tubes (i.e., typical military delay housings), which provides desired delay propagation rates of from less than about 2 to about 38 mm/s through such delay housings—the compositions being compressed stoichiometric mixes of Ti and C powders; Ni and Al powders; a combination of Ti/C and 3Ni/Al powders; and a combination of Ti/C and Ni/Al powders, diluted with inert alumina.
