ENERGY-SATURATED EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC C06B31/04 

FIELD: manufacturing technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to energy-saturated materials, including explosive materials of mixed type. Material contains two components which are not explosive in an individual form: a combustible component – graphite and an oxidizing component – lithium nitrate. Components are taken in ratio close to stoichiometric, namely C – 20–22 wt%, LiNO₃ – 80–78 wt%. Explosive material is produced by injection technology mixing fuel with oxidant melt at temperature slightly higher than oxidant melting. Obtained material has the following characteristics: density – 2.4⋅10³ kg/m³, heat of explosive conversion – 9,750 kJ/kg (2,330 kcal/kg), detonation rate – 12,500 m/s, detonation pressure – 93.75⋅10⁹ Pa (937.5⋅10³ atm), which significantly exceed characteristics of currently existing individual blasting explosives and mixed compounds. Safety parameters of manufacture and use do not exceed the level of existing explosive materials.

EFFECT: disclosed is energy-saturated explosive material.
