The use of standardized cylinders in tests of the brisance of explosives has made it possible to obtain a rather detailed picture of the variation in brisance with the properties of the metal and explosive material [1-4]. A wide class of steels (low-, medium-, and high-carbon) has been used with basically only three types of explosive: TNT stabilized hexogen-aluminum, and stabilized octogen. The brisance of mixed compositions containing an explosive material, oxidant (potassium perchlorate), and fuel (aluminum powder) is studied in this article.
