Slow Cook-Off Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Spherical NQ-Based Melt-Cast Explosive.

In order to analyze the influence of nitroguanidine (NQ) spheroidization on the corresponding characteristics of slow cook-off molten cast explosives, experiments and simulation calculations were carried out. A calculation method was established, based on a multiphase flow model to simulate the response process of spherical NQ-based molten cast explosives under slow cook-off conditions, to analyze the temperature distribution and liquid phase distribution during the reaction process, and to discuss the reaction temperature, reaction time and reaction location with the change of solid content. The study found that the slow cook-off response level of spherical NQ-based molten cast explosives is deflagration; the phase change cloud diagram can be used to determine the ignition time to obtain more accurate slow cook-off response data; when the solid content is 50%, the ignition temperature of ordinary NQ-based molten cast explosives is 454.3 K, and the ignition time is 50.0 h, while the slow-baking ignition temperature of spherical NQ-based fused-cast explosives is up to 464 K, which is an increase of 2.14%, and the ignition time is 51.8 h, which is a relative increase of 3.55%; it can be seen that the spheroidization of NQ improves the thermal safety of molten-cast explosives has a significant effect.
