The Burning Rate of High-Energy Materials Containing Metal Fuels Based on Al and B

Abstract

An effective method of increasing the energy characteristics of high-energy materials (HEMs) is the use of boron and metal borides powders, which have high values of specific energy released during oxidation and combustion. This study investigates powders of amorphous boron and aluminum borides, which are used in compositions of solid propellants based on ammonium perchlorate, ammonium nitrate, and active fuel-binder.
