Processes were developed at Mound Facility to produce high density Al/Cu/sub 2/O thermite composites. Consolidation of the precursor thermite powders produces efficient chemical heat sources that are safe to handle, are machineable, and generate minimum gas pressure upon reaction. This paper describes some of the ignition characteristics and performance features of selected consolidated thermite systems. In addition, an inexpensive low energy input system for igniting consolidated thermites is described.
