Method to prevent/mitigate steam explosions in casting pits

Patent Taleyarkhan, R P

Steam explosions can be prevented or mitigated during a metal casting process by the placement of a perforated flooring system in the casting pit. An upward flow of compressed gas through this perforated flooring system is introduced during the casting process to produce a buffer layer between any spilled molten metal and the cooling water in the reservoir. This buffer layer provides a hydrodynamic layer which acts to prevent or mitigate steam explosions resulting from hot, molten metal being spilled into or onto the cooling water. 3 figs.
Performance and properties of extrusion cast explosives composed of HMX, FEFO, and AFNOL

Technical Report Hallam, J S

This report contains the results of a comprehensive program to develop a series of Extrusion Cast Explosives (ECX) composed of HMX and AFNOL, an energetic, cast-curable binder that is plasticized with FEFO. An ECX can be extruded into containers of almost any configuration and then cured in place without any shrinkage or loss of homogeneity. Early experiments showed that in the cured state ECXs are extremely insensitive to impact, and their composition can be adjusted to give different energies; a formulation containing 80 wt % HMX has the equivalent energy of PBX 9404. From this notable beginning the studies rapidlymore »« less
Compression of two extrusion-cast explosives to 500 MPa. [RX-08-FO and RX-08-EL]

Technical Report Costantino, M; Tao, W; Ornellas, D; ...

Experimental data is presented for room-temperature isothermal compression of two extrusion-cast explosives, RX-08-FO and RX-08-EL. The samples, were loaded hydrostatically to 500 MPa at strain rates between 1 x 10/sup -4/ s/sup -1/ and 2 x 10/sup -4/ s/sup -1/. Volume compression was found by measuring the change in length of a bellows piezometer and relating it to a change in volume with a calibration based on the equation of state of water. We defined the P-V curve for each material by averaging the results from several runs, using a nonlinear regression analysis to fit the data for each runmore »« less
