Energy output performance of aluminized explosive containing Al/PTFE reactive materials.

In this paper, a series of CL-20 based explosive formulations containing Al/PTFE reactive materials are designed using a self-designed closed explosion test device. The quasi-static pressure (QSP) and peak temperature of the explosive reaction are studied under different mass percentages of Al/PTFE and different charge structures. The composition and morphology of the solid residue products after the explosion were analyzed, proving the feasibility of using Al/PTFE in explosives and providing theoretical support for the design of the aluminized explosive in this system.
