The Role of the Scanning Electron Microscope in the Study of Solid Rocket Propellant Combustion,

Abstract

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) has provided data which have been used to infer the physical and thermochemical mechanisms of the following processes: ammonium perchlorate decomposition and deflagration, aluminum combustion, beryllium combustion, aluminum agglomeration, and solid propellant combustion.
