Press-molded explosives

Press-molded explosives. Lechner, Heinrich; Wild, Richard (Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm G.m.b.H., Fed. Rep. Ger.). Ger. Offen. DE 3409519 C1 4 Jul 1985, 4 pp. (German). (Germany). CODEN: GWXXBX. CLASS: ICM: C06B021-00. APPLICATION: DE 84-3409519 15 Mar 1984. DOCUMENT TYPE: Patent CA Section: 50 (Propellants and Explosives) Press-molded explosives are obtained from a suspension of solid hexogen [121-82-4] and/or octogen [2691-41-0] in molten TNT [118-96-7] by oscillating compacting at ￡500 bar with a die, the surface of which is permeable for the melt. The oscillation frequency and stroke are 1-100 s-1 and 1-50 mm, resp. The die is removed with pressed air, and the compacted solid explosive with the overlaying TNT melt is sealed and cooled for the solidification of TNT.

Three-dimensional modeling of inert metal-loaded explosives

Three-dimensional modeling of inert metal-loaded explosives. Mader, Charles L.; Kershner, James D.; Pimbley, George H. (Los Alamos Natl. Lab., Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA). J. Energ. Mater., 1(4), 293-324 (English) 1983. CODEN: JOEMDK. ISSN: 0737-0652. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 50 (Propellants and Explosives) The reactive 3-dimensional hydrodynamic code 3DE was used to investigate the reactive hydrodynamics of a matrix of W particles in HMX [2691-41-0]. A propagating detonation proceeding through the matrix of W particles gives calcd. detonation velocities and pressures that are much higher than obsd. If the heterogeneous shock initiation Forest Fire rate for HMX is used to describe the reactive kinetics, some of the individual detonation wavelets between the W particles fail. The shocked explosive continues to decomp. and release energy after shock passage. Equations of state are described for a W- and a Pb-loaded explosive that reproduce the obsd. performance of these nonideal explosives. The calibrated equations of state use a partial energy release suggested by the 3-dimensional model. Evidence is presented that the explosives have a flat top Taylor wave characteristic of weak detonations.
