Abstract
Detonation parameters of aluminized ANFO are analyzed. Explosive compositions based on porous ammonium nitrate were investigated. Two kinds of alumnium, flakes of below 0.075 mm size and powder of dimensions below 1.5 mm were added. Diesel oil of 1.3°E viscosity was used as a moderator. The velocity of detonation of investigated explosive mixtures was measured for charges placed in PCV and steel tubes. The critical detonation diameter was estimated, and work performance capacity was appraised by lead block and ballistic mortar tests. The detonation parameters velocity, pressure, and heat liberated in the C-J point as well as pressure and heat of constant volume explosion are evaluated and analyzed.
