In order to improve the effect of explosive hardening and reduce the production cost, the elastic-plastic explosive which consists of RDX, rubber, deterrent, antioxidant and plasticizer was prepared. The experiments including density testing, detonation performance, detonation velocity testing, impact sensitivity, and explosive hardening were carried out. The results show that the density of the elastic-plastic explosive is 1.46g/cm3, the detonation velocity is 6670m/s, the impact sensitivity is 28% and the elastic-plastic explosive can be detonated reliably by a detonator. The explosion hardening on Hadfield steel makes the hardness increased from 187HB to 362HB, which increases by 93.5%.
Poly (trimethylene terephthalate)/acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylic copolymer blends were prepared and their morphology, thermal aging and mechanical properties were investigated by using the polarized optical microscopy, universal material testing machine and color-difference meter, repectively. The results suggest that ASA and PTT are partially miscible in the blends, and when TPEE content is 50%, a bi-continuous phases form in the blend. The PTT’s spherulites in the blends become smaller and even microcrystallites with increasing ASA content. ASA component has good effect on toughen PTT by increasing blends’ impact strength but depresses the tensile strength of the blends. ASA has no influence on the thermal aging properties of PTT, and PTT/ASA blend has better thermal aging resistance than that of PTT/ABS blend.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
