Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The paper presents the thermodynamic calculation results of the effect of boron content on the combustion parameters of high-energy materials (HEMs) based on ammonium perchlorate, butadiene rubber, and aluminum and titanium powders as well as the thermal analysis data for the Al and Ti nanopowders and the Al/В and Ti/B mechanical mixtures. The dependences of the combustion temperature, specific impulse, and mass concentration of condensed HEM combustion products on the metal/boron component ratio are obtained. It is found that with an increase of boron concentration in the Al-containing HEM, the combustion temperature and specific impulse decrease by 16% and 3.3%, respectively. Whereas for the Ti-containing HEM, the specific impulse increases by 7.7% for a component ratio Ti/B = 20/80. The thermal analysis of metal nanopowders in the air showed that the maximum oxidation rates of Al/В and Ti/B increase with the increase of the boron content in the mechanical mixture.
