Abstract:
Studying the ignition and combustion performances of modified aluminum-based metallic fuels in variable oxidizing atmospheres is highly important for large-scale space exploration. In this study, Al-B-Mg multi-metal composite powders (MMP) were prepared using the mechanical ball-milling method.It was coated respectively by ammonium perchlorate (AP), lithium perchlorate (LP), and potassium nitrate (KN) to obtain modified multi- metal composite powder fuels (AP@MMP, LP@MMP, and KN@MMP, respectively) by a recrystallization method. The samples were characterized and their thermal oxidation, ignition and combustion processes were investigated through a TG and laser-ignition experiment under Air/H2O environments. The results show that the MMP samples can potentially be called pure aluminum substitutes. All three samples exhibit fast ignition characteristics with ignition delay times of 2.95-6.75 ms in air. AP@MMP exhibits the highest ignition speed. The thermal oxidation, ignition, and combustion properties of all samples decayed with increasing water content in the atmosphere (Air -> Air+H2O -> H2O). AP@MMP exhibits a significantly more intense and stable combustion overall than LP@MMP and KN@MMP. This study expands the direction and application range of aluminum- based composite metal fuels, guiding their applications in Air/H2O environments.
