Research progress of combustion assisted materials and technologies for alumini-um powder
Aluminum powder is the most commonly used metal fuel in the explosives and propellants industry.How to make aluminum powder react as completely as possible in explosives and propellants has always been a difficult problem to solve.The combustion-assisted materials and technologies for aluminum powder are systemati-cally reviewed and the different mechanism of promoting the combustion of aluminum powder is analyzed in this paper.Ammonium perchlorate(AP),fluorine-containing materials,nitro-containing compounds,azide-based materi-als,etc.have significant auxiliary effects on the oxidation of aluminum powder,and the aluminum-containing composites prepared by self-assembly process can help aluminum powder react completely more effectively.
