Mechanical properties of high explosives. Progress report, January--March 1973. [RX-04-EE, RX-04-EF, LX-10-0]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7356900

Mechanical properties test indicate that RX-04-EE is significantly stronger than both RX-04-EF and LX-10-0 Lot 710-4. The apparent high elasticity of the Estane materials was noted during the machining operations. The compressibility test specimens average decrease in length was 14.5 mils for the RX-04-EF and 12.8 mils for RX-04-EE after 30 days of confined thermal cycling.
