Study of Preignition Processes in Zirconium, Titanium, and Zirconium Hydride

Abstract

The study of preignition processes stemmed from the need to more fully explain the ignition and combustion mechanisms of metals. The experiments were carried out on particles of electrolytic zirconium (99.96% Zr), megnetothermic titanium (94.6% Ti), and zirconium hydride (ZrH2). Microphotographing technique is being used to estimate the growth of oxide films on metal particles (ranging from 100 to 520 micrometers) under conditions of dynamic heating.
