Abstract
A method for improving the characteristics of energetic materials uses amorphous metals as one or more reactant of said materials. Improvements in properties and energy release characteristics for a wide range of energetic materials are obtained thereby, particularly in terms of processability, mechanical properties, and ignition behavior for solid energetic materials.
Claims9
An energetic material system, comprising a fuel consisting substantially of at least one reactant of amorphous metal or amorphous metal alloy and which constitutes at least a structural portion of a bullet, shell, missile, bomb, munition, drone or delivery system which incorporates the energetic material system.
