The Manufacture of Silver Azide R.D. 1336

Abstract

A previous report E.R.D.E. No. 17/R/49 "Silver Azide as a replacement for lead azide in detonators" described experiments carried out on the preparation and properties of this substance and discussed its possible development as an initiator for Service detonators. The results justified the recommendations for further trials on performance and stability and also for the continued development of the method of preparation. As a result of these further investigations it is now possible to describe a detailed manufacturing process for silver azide; this is the object of the present report.
