Notes:
The reactions of combustion products (CO, H2O) from the insensitive high explosive LX-17 (92.5 wt% 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB), 7.5 wt% Kel-F 800 binder) with molten metal (75 a%Nd, 25 a% Fe) were studied, to determine their contribution to the energy release rate of deflagrating LX-17, Kinetic data taken with gas mixtures of CO and H2O, and larger-scale tests with LX-17, showed that the reactions were slow and incomplete and that there was no significant contribution to the energy release rate. From the tests with JX-17, the effective flame temperature and burn velocity were dependent on confinement of gas products. LX-17 preheated to 500 K - 510 K showed effective flame temperatures of 1100 K - 1400 K and burn rates of 0.08-0.11 mm/s, depending on the extent of gas confinement by the molten metal.
