“…33,36,38,39,87,100 On the other hand, those systems that remain inert, NizAl, MozSi and TizAl (shown centre crossed), are far removed from the origin, and are associated with large differences in intrinsic properties. 85,92,103,132 From the distribution of data, it appears that shock induced reaction will be suppressed above impedance and strength differences of y175 and y200% respectively. Based on these limits, a reaction zone can be prescribed through the difference space, indicating where the differences in impedance and strength satisfy the proposed conditions for shock induced reaction at modest pressures, in the regime of the crush strength of the powder mixture systems.…”
