Abstract

Some recent results from a project examining the use of novel energetic materials for structural components are presented. The aim of the research is to gain understanding as to how compressed metal powders could potentially boost performance in munitions cas-ings. Specifically the experiments concerned involve loading rings of pressed tungsten-aluminium and nickel-aluminium composites using rubberised explosives in a copper con-tainer. The paper presents a number of insights into the experimental method and com-ments on potential material performance.
