Abstract:Qualitative evidence of chemical reactions between combustible metal shaped charges in air and water has previously been reported based on high-speed photography, spectroscopy, and calorimetry. This report covers investigations directed towards quantifying the conditions under which reaction occurs and the consequences on terminal encounter with submerged inert steel plates. In order to distinguish effects hypervelocity long-rod and shaped charge jet impact experiments were conducted in inert fluid, water and … Show more
