THE RESEARCH OF IGNITION AND COMBUSTION OF ALUMINUM AND MAGNESIUM ALLOYS IN THE PRODUCTS OF DECOMPOSITION OF SOLID PYROTECHNICAL FUELS
The results of experimental research of processes of ignition and combustion of particles of aluminum and magnesium alloys in gaseous purges of high-temperature decomposition of solid pyrotechnic fuels leading to their fire explosive hazardous development are presented. The relevance of these research is due to the wide scope of application of pyrotechnic products based on pyrotechnic mixtures of powders of aluminum-magnesium alloys with additives of organic substances, in particular applications in military technology and use in various industries related to the rotation of solid pyrotechnic equipment. Accordingly, in case of fire at facilities where pyrotechnic products are kept or during their transportation there exists the risk of ignition of pyrotechnic mixtures with different acceleration of their subsequent combustion process and destruction of the pyrotechnic products. As a result, high-temperature combustion products are formed, which are fire hazardous to the surrounding environment. Based on the foregoing, it is necessary to obtain data on the regularities of ignition and combustion particles of aluminum-magnesium alloys, which determines the ability to predict the properties of fire hazard pyrotechnic mixtures. As a result of conducted research, data on the ignition and combustion of particles of aluminum-magnesium alloys was obtained, in particular, the dependence of the delay time of the particles of aluminum-magnesium alloys on their chemical composition was obtained, the data on the process of combustion of particles of aluminum-magnesium alloys was obtained, the data on the effect of additives to aluminum-magnesium alloys was obtained.
