| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT The energy output of high explosives can be increased by the addition of certain metallic fuels to the explosive compositions. Aluminum is the most common fuel additive due to its high reliability and low cost as well as its high heat of combustion. In this paper, aluminized high explosive compositions based on RDX, TNT and aluminum powder (12, 40, 75 μm) were prepared on the Lab scale. In these compositions, the weight percentage of aluminum was 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 %. Some of the explosive characteristics of the compositions were determined experimentally and theoretically. The effects of weight percentage and grain size on the characteristics of such compositions were recognized. | ||
