Abstract

Mixed formulations of ultrafine PETN+soda and RDX+soda have low detonation velocity and small critical diameters, which makes them attractive for application to new technological processes, such as welding explosion [1]. The above properties of these formulations are due to the use of nanopowders of PETN and RDX along with a phlegmatizing agent of sodium bicarbonate. The detonation parameters of these mixtures were studied using synchrotron radiation from the VEPP-3 accelerator (Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics). Techniques we developed were applied to the measurement of density distribution in the detonation front and the width of the reaction zone, as well as volume distribution of pressure, density and spread velocities in detonation of cylindrical charges.
