Alternative oxidants and processing procedures for pyrotechnic time delays

Alternative oxidants and processing procedures for pyrotechnic time delays

This study was directed at the pyrotechnic time delay compositions that are used in detonator assemblies. The objectives were to: --Investigate effective alternatives for the barium and lead-based oxidants currently used, maintaining the use of silicon as fuel --Develop easy to use, realistic measur...
