Ignition of powder materials under friction

Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that ignition may occur under light frictional pressure. In the case of friction applied to a powder, there are two limits of ignition in terms of the frictional pressure. A frictional approach permits a high degree of compaction of powder at low frictional pressure (∼10 kg/cm2). The influence of the material of the frictional body on sample heating and ignition is investigated. Activation of chemically active powder under the action of friction is observed. A discussion of the results is presented.
