Influence of aluminum particle size on energy output characteristics and thermal stability of emulsion explosive
In order to study the influence of aluminum particle size on underwater explosion energy output of emulsion explosive
three kinds of aluminized emulsion explosives were prepared by mixing emulsion explosive with aluminum powder with different particle sizes
respectively. Pressure-time curves were determined by underwater explosion experiments
and underwater explosion energy parameters were obtained by analyzing the curves. The thermal stability of emulsion explosive which contained different particle sizes of aluminum powder were examined by means of DSC and TG methods at various heating rates. The results showed that the aluminum particle size had a great influence on underwater explosion energy of emulsion explosive. The underwater explosion energy output of emulsion explosive reached the maximum when the medium grain size aluminum powder (average particle size was 177.2 μm) was added
but the thermal stability of three samples reduced with the decrease of aluminum particle size. The biggest falling range of the activation energy was 3.7%.
