Investigation of the Reaction Thermal Effects in Al-Ni-FeOx Energetic Nanopowder Material

The paper proposes a method for fabrication of Al-Ni-FeOx energetic nanopowder materials with different ratio of components and 90-100 nm particle size. It presents the experimental results of the thermal effects of the reaction using the DSC method, bomb calorimetry, as well as the measurement of the reaction front propagation velocity by high-speed video. It was experimentally revealed that the mass proportion of (1:2:1) is the optimal composition of the Al-Ni-FeOx system, which is selected by the criterion of heat release and gas evolution intensity.
