Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5761513· OSTI ID:5761513
The skid sensitivity of as-pressed PBX 9404 was determined. It was found that under certain conditions the as-pressed billets show a marked increase in sensitivity to skid impact compared to machined billets. A skid test series was also conducted on standard machined billets for comparison with previous data. A new critical height was established for the 14/sup 0/ drop angle (0.27 m compared to 0.38 m as previously reported).
