Effect of aluminum content on detonation velocity and density of emulsion explosives.

The performance of nonideal explosives, such as emulsion explosives, can be altered by metal powders like aluminum (Al) while keeping their other components the same. The high demand of emulsions coupled with various specific requirements, recommends a study on the performance of explosives. A research study on the detonation velocity of emulsion explosives variation with varying Al content in the emulsion matrix was carried out.
