Experimental Study on the Thermodynamic Properties of Thermites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the thermites systematically, six different thermites were chosen and prepared, then the thermodynamic properties were measured. It was found that Mg+MnO2, Al+Fe3O4 and Mg+CuO combusted steadily and slowly, while Mg+MnO2 had a high combustion temperature; Mg+CuO, Mg+Fe3O4 and Mg+MnO2 had lower starting reaction temperature, higher releasing heat, and reacted easily; Mg+MnO2, Mg+CuO and Al+CuO had higher combustion heat and complete combustion capacity. Mg+MnO2 and Mg+CuO are two ideal thermites, have bright practical application prospect.
