    Abstract:

    In order to obtain a new type of alloy fuel with excellent thermal oxidation and energy release performance, the spherical aluminum-tungsten alloy fuel powder (Al-25W) was prepared by the combination of aluminothermic reduction and ultra-high temperature gas atomization. The phase structure, oxidation behavior, and energy properties of the alloy powder were studied. The results show that the metastable Al/W alloy phase in the spherical Al-25W alloy powder particles is uniformly distributed in the pure Al matrix, and transform into the Al12W phase after the stabilization treatment, and the energy is released to the outside. The spherical Al-25W alloy powder has higher oxidation heat release and oxidation weight gain than pure Al powder. It can be completely oxidized in air at 1400 ℃, with all W atoms oxidized to WO3 and volatilized in the gaseous form. The residual oxidation product is only Al2O3. The measured volumetric combustion enthalpy of the spherical Al-25W alloy powder is higher than that of pure Al powder (83000 J·cm-3) calculated theoretically, up to (83132.1±608.5) J·cm-3, and the gaseous combustion product WO3 is generated during the violent combustion.
