Different propellants such as single-base propellants,double-base propellants,triethyeneglycol dinitrate (TEGN) and nitramine propellants were recovered after conventional and plasma ignition in an interrupted close bomb (extinguished at pre-required pressures). X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy was performed on the extinguished grains in order to identify metals present in the plasma that may be incident on the propellant samples. The relative intensity of Cu deposited on the 15/19 single-base and nitramine propellant surfaces are less than that deposited on TEGN propellant surfaces. The relative contents of Cu deposited on TEGN propellant surfaces is about 20% of Pb contents as reference. However,the relative contents of Cu deposited on double-base propellant surfaces increase significantly to 50% of Pb contents as reference. The relative contents of Cu deposited on different propellant surfaces are not always consistent with that of metal vapor shield model. The results show that Cu is deposited on the grain surfaces of some extinguished propellants after plasma ignition,compared with conventional ignition. The relative intensity of Cu deposited on the propellant surfaces is related to plasma-propellant interaction mechanisms,propellant composition and combustion status.
