Combustion of individual aluminum-magnesium alloy particles in the flame of an oxidizer-fuel mixture

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

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The ignition lag and combustion mechanism of metal particles have been investigated with reference to the nature and the location of the tracks formed when the particles burn in the flame of a model composite oxidizer — fuel system.

  2. 2.

    Alloys containing 30–45% aluminum and 55–70% magnesium constitute a modified aluminum-based fuel effective from the standpoint of completeness of combustion.

  3. 3.

    The combustion characteristics of the metal component are determined by the nature of the metals it contains: permeability of the oxide film, reactivity, surface activity, volatility, melting point change of density on melting, and heat of combustion.
