Determination of the lower limit of explosiveness of magnesium powders

  • Published:
Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The ignition of powders depends on the dust concentration in the cloud.

  2. 2.

    It was determined experimentally that the lower limit of explosiveness of Mg dust of fraction −0071 in air is 32 nig/liter,

  3. 3.

    It was established that the critical content of oxygen in an oxygen-nitrogen mixture at which ignition of Mg aerosol occurs is 4%.
