Ignition, Combustion, and Gas Emission during Combustion of Fe3O4–Al–Ni Nanothermite Mixtures
摘要
Abstract
Gas emission taking place during combustion of Fe3O4–Al–Ni nanothermite mixtures with additives of multilayer carbon nanotubes was studied. Variation in released gas volume with pre-degassing temperature was analyzed. It was shown that the major portion of easily evaporated impurities and moisture is removed upon vacuum degassing of mixtures at 162°C. A two-stage ignition mode of mixtures was found, and their critical ignition temperatures were determined. The burning velocity varied from 10 mm/s for Ni + Al to 770 mm/s for Fe3O4 + Al.
