Cook-Off Studies on the General Purpose Cast Explosives PBXC-116 and PBXC-117

Abstract

This report presents the results of an investigation of the slow cook-off behavior of PBXC-116/117 explosives, and the behavior of PBXC-116/117- loaded ordnance when exposed to fuel fires. The PBXC-116/117 compositions were demonstrated to have outstanding thermal, mechanical and explosive properties.
