Abstract
The combustion dynamics of Ni–Al twisted wires under (1.0–3.0) × 105 Ра of oxygen was studied by using rapid video filming and time-resolved spectrometry. Burning velocity and combustion temperature were found to grow with increasing oxygen pressure within the range 30–35 cm/s and 3125–3361 K, respectively. The formation of high-temperature (up to 4900 K) gas-dust phase around the reaction zone was observed. The present results are discussed in comparison with those previously obtained for combustion of the same twisted wires in argon and air. Out results shed new light on the kinetics of metals combustion and may turn useful in designing new energetic ingredients for solid rocket propulsion and bimetal Al–Ni nanopowders for energetic formulations.
