| Abstract: | Detonation performance of non‐ideal RDX‐based compositions was studied. Charges of phlegmatised RDX containing 30% of two types of aluminium powders, coarse aluminium oxide or fine lithium fluoride particles were tested. The research concerning influence of inert and reactive additives on the detonation velocity and quasi‐static pressure was carried out. To estimate the degree of afterburning of the detonation products and reactive particles, closed explosions were performed in a chamber filled with different atmospheres. Explosion residues were also analysed. Gasdynamical and thermochemical calculations were also performed for the tested explosive compositions. |
