Double-base (DB) propellant/ammonium perchlorate (AP) as the main components of the incendiary agent were designed and the combustion performance of incendiary agent was adjusted by adding metal (boron, magnesium, aluminum) combustible agent. The combustion heat, burning rate, flame temperature and thermal performance of incendiary agent were measured by automatic calorimeter, digital camera, thermocouple and TG-DSC. The results show that adding the metal powders can increase the combustion heat, burning rate and flame temperature of the incendiary agent, and change their flame structure. For long-distance ignition of liquid fuel with high boiling point, the effect of boron powder is the best in three kinds of metal powders, the flame temperature of DB/AP/B can reach 1070℃, the flame length reaches 25cm, the combustion process is more stable, while DB/AP/Mg and DB/AP/Al produce a large number of sparks in the combustion process. AP and metal powder have no effect on the thermal decomposition of DB propellant. © 2017, Editorial Board of Journal of Explosives & Propellants. All right reserved.
