Abstract
This article presents the results of burn rate measurements conducted for a Fe/BaO2 pyrotechnic delay composition. Compositions with an iron content between 15% (w/w) and 50% (w/w) yielded burn rates in the range of 4–36 mm s−1. Mixtures containing more than 50% (w/w) iron could not be initiated by a powder fuse and are not suited for application as delay compositions. This study also presents a cost-efficient method for measuring linear combustion velocities and its application to the investigation of the Fe/BaO2 composition. Thermogravimetric and XRD studies have revealed that the reactions between iron and barium peroxide take place in the solid phase, leading to the formation of varied spinels.
