thermite based ematch

Post by dave321 »

slightly bored today so tried the composition below,based around std copper oxide/aluminium thermite, with boron added for ignition and a few titanium flakes for sparks(probably not needed)

copper oxide 67.7
aluminium (5413) 7.7
aluminium 250um atomised, 7.7
boron 7.7
titanium flakes 9.2

bound with 2%nc and coated with nc

impressive performance

probably could simplify the actual %s
