Abstract

The combustion behavior of aluminium-magnesium based solid fuel-rich propellants was investigated using modified strand burner and high-speed motion analysis system. Ignition property, burning process and the relationship between burning rate, main ingredients and catalyzers were discussed under the oxygen poor condition of the pressure less than 3 MPa. Preliminary combustion process, appearance of burning and flame, and sediment were observed. The ingredients and cause of sediment were analyzed, as well as the influence factors.
