Theses
Mechanical alloys of Al Mg, AI Zr, Al Ti, Al Li, Al C, Al Mg H, B Mg, B Al, and B Ti were produced and tested for possible applications as high energy density additives to fuels, propellants, explosives, and incendiaries. These new materials are metastable, supersaturated, nanocrystalline solid solutions that include a base metal as a solvent and another component (metal or gas, e.g. hydrogen) as a solute. Phase changes occurring in such materials during ignition and combustion are expected to significantly affect both ignition and bum rates. This experimental program focused on the characterization of ignition kinetics of …
