The Study on Ultrafine Explosives’ Sensitivity

Abstract:

With high pressure spraying refinement technology of explosive, we obtain ultrafine powder of TATB and HMX. The middle diameter of them is 746 and 242 , that is to say those two kinds explosives belong to ultrafine explosive. Impact test indicate that the impact sensitivity of ultrafine TATB and HMX is decreasing in some degree. However the shock sensitivity is increased and the increased range is big. The end, we analyze this phenomenon and explain the reason that the ultrafine explosives` sensitivity is different form usual explosive in theory.
