    Abstract:

    How to improve the explosion energy and power ability of explosive by applying reactive metal particles effectively is the key problem for the design of metalized explosive. To explore the application of the micro-B/Al composite powder in enhance blast explosive (EBX) and thermobaric explosive (TBX), three HMX-based explosives containing B/Al particles were designed and prepared. The energy output characteristics of the samples with a dimension Φ100 mm×105 mm was studied by air blast and underwater explosion tests, meanwhile the power abilities were evaluated by a Φ50 mm cylinder test. The effect of the content of micro-metal on energy output process and power ability of metalized explosives was discussed. Results show that in the air blast and underwater explosion tests, initiated by the detonation of HMX, the combustion of micro-Al can promote the afterburning effect of micro-Boron resulting in releasing a great amount of combustion heat to generate expansible products with high temperature and high pressure, finally increase the sustained duration of fireball and total energy in underwater explosion. In the cylinder test, there was not enough oxygen to react with micro-B before the cooper cylinder burst, accordingly the advantage of combustion energy of micro-boron in explosives containing B/Al could not present. However, after the cooper cylinder burst, the oxygen in the air can oxide B/Al composite powder to release a large amount of combustion heat, which can enhance the power ability of aftereffect.
