Abstract

In this chapter, the combustion behavior of multicomponent aluminized propellants loaded with different metals and metal oxides (in particular, B, Zn, Ni, Cu, Mo, Co3O4, V2O5, MnO2, Fe2O3, and CuO) are described. The correlation between properties of propellant composition and components and regularities of burning process are presented for formulations based on mixture of HMX, CL-20, and ammonium perchlorate. The burning law was defined experimentally by means of Vielle bomb over the pressure range 1–10 MPa, while some combustion properties were obtained theoretically. The effects of metal powder chemical and phase composition on burning law were considered as well as their oxidation reactivity, morphological, and the other properties. The most significant increasing of burning rate was observed for substances promoting catalytic propellant components decomposition with nearly constant thermodynamic properties. Thus, addition of metal and metal oxide could be effective way to adjust burning rate of propellants without affecting its ballistic properties.
