Charge forms for explosion dispersal of metal particles

The dispersion of metal particles by explosive was investigated experimentally with different charge forms of explosive and metal particles: separation form (with and without dispersant) and mixture form. The results show that the particles are partly sintered and are not even distributed in the separation form without dispersant. The particles are dispersed in good-distribution and no particle is sintered in the separation form with dispersant as well as in the mixture form. Considering the number density and the penetration on target of the particles, the charging manufacturability and safety, separation form with dispersant is better than the others.
