Preparation, Characterization, and Kinetic Analysis of Fluorine- containing Aluminum Thermite

Abstract

Abstract The addition of polytetrafluoroethylene as a binder in aluminum thermite allows the application of aluminum thermite from the traditional high temperature and high heat to the chemical corrosion direction. The stability of the samples was tested by theoretical calculations of the critical thermal explosion and mechanical sensitivity experiments. The microscopic morphology of the aluminum thermite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and the thermodynamic properties of the samples at different heating rates were investigated by the TG-DSC method.
