22 Conclusions New combined effects explosives produce both high metal pushing (early) and high blast (late) work output. Detonation velocities agree with little or no Al reaction even with sub-micron particles However, with small particles, complete Al reaction is indicated during early products expansion Eigen detonation theory used for EOS development
