Synthesis of Nanosized Particles of Iron Nitride by Flameless Combustion of RDX

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

Abstract

It has been shown experimentally that the flameless combustion of RDX mixtures with iron precursors, nitrogen-containing additives, and a polymer binder can lead to the formation of iron nitrides. Nanosized particles of iron nitride (Fe3N) were obtained by optimizing the ratio of initial components and the conditions of flameless combustion of RDX. The method developed for obtaining iron nitrides in this way can be used to obtain nanosized particles of nitrides of other elements.
