Production and Physico-Chemical Properties of Calciothermic Zirconium Powder As a Component of Pyrotechnical Compositions

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

Low-temperature (1023 K) vacuum reduction of a mixture of zirconium dioxide with calcium is used to obtain a powder with an active zirconium content of 98.4% (wt.). Physicochemical properties that determine the thermal and ignition characteristics of the powder and pyrotechnic compositions based on it are studied.
