Abstract

Thermal behaviour of HMS/RDX mixtures is studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It has been found that the temperature of polymorphic transformation of HMX shows an increase due to the presence of RDX. The enthalpies of the enothermic transformations depend on the composition of the mixture, and up to 30% RDX there is a linear relationship. The formation of an eutectic with a composition of 30/70 (HMX/RDX) is postulated to explain the melting processes.

Thermal decomposition of pure cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) shows an endothermic peak at 205'C attributed to melting, followed by exothermic decomposition leading to a strong peak at 24O'C, and a very strong thermogravimetric peak at 260°C with a mass loss of 95%. However, the mixture of RDX,
