Study on the cylinder test of aluminized explosives with different content of Al powder

Abstract To investigate the effect of content Al powder on acceleration ability aluminized explosives, a series 25mm cylinder experiments was conducted, and Al/LiF is 0%, 15%, 30%. The radial expansion velocities wall were measured through Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) system. verify that could react with detonation products to release energy, which enhance accelerating explosives. By comparing different it found explosives related powder, optimal 15% in this experiment. same indicated reaction delay time RDX80/Al15 explosive does not exceed 2.8µs, as RDX65/Al30, less than 3µs. Finally, normalization method, specific are 0.147 0.203,
