Explosive Characteristics of Cast PBX Based on HMX, Ammonium Perchlorate and Aluminium
Gordana Antić Vesna Džingalašević Milena Stanković Zoran Borković
Explosive characteristics determination of cast explosives based on octogen (HMX), ammonium perchlorate, aluminium and polyurethane binder are presented. Shock sensitivity and PBX detonation parameters: detonation velocity, particle velocity, chemical reaction zone duration, chemical reaction zone width, polytrophic exponent of explosion products and detonation pressure are determined.
Key words: cast explosives, explosive characteristics, explosive sensitivity, initiation, octogen, oxidizer, aluminium, ammonium perchlorate, detonation parameters.
