IMX-101 is a high-performance insensitive high explosive composite mixture developed by BAE Systems and the United States Army to replace TNT in artillery shells.

IMX-104 Explosive Overview • An insensitive melt-pour explosive to replace Composition B for Mortar Applications • IMX-104 and all starting ingredients manufactured at Holston Army Ammunition Plant • Exhibited superior IM properties and comparable performance over Composition B in 81mm Mortar HE

2022年4月25日 · This paper will review the literature related to the properties and manufacturing processes of IMX-101 and IMX-104, including their physicochemical, thermal, explosive, and sensitivity properties as well as their behavior in Insensitive Munition (IM) tests specifically designed to simulate real threats and hazards faced by a munition on the ...

IMX-101 explosive is effectively a “drop-in” replacement for TNT in melt-cast LAP operations. BAE Systems at Holston AAP has robust manufacturing processes and essentially unlimited capacity for both the IM ingredients (i.e. DNAN, NTO, etc) and melt-cast formulations.

• IMX-104 demonstrated excellent IM properties over Composition B • Low-cost replacement for Composition B • Reduced shock sensitivity vs. Composition B (and PAX-21) • Ingredients readily available and manufactured at Holston • Robust large scale manufacturing process for IMX-104

Particular detail will be spent on comparison of the resulting granular version of IMX-104 to the standard melt cast material currently manufactured at HSAAP. Pilot Scale (125 lbs) production of granular IMX-104 with different levels of wax was undertaken at BAE HSAAP facility utilizing fluorinated hydrocarbon based slurry coating system.

2019年8月1日 · Two important NGu-based melt cast formulations comprising NTO as an additional insensitive filler are IMX-101 [63] (formerly known as OSX-CAN) and its aluminised derivative ALIMX-101 [64]. Table 14 displays the disclosed composition for IMX-101 and the alleged formulation for ALIMX-101, Table 15 shows the performance.

IMX‐101 and IMX‐104 are novel insensitive melt‐pour explosives developed and produced by BAE Systems at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP). The U.S. Army has selected these two...

IMX-101 and IMX-104 are novel insensitive melt-pour explosives developed and produced by BAE Systems at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP). The U.S. Army has selected these two explosives as common low-cost replacements for legacy explosives TNT and Composition-B used in indirect fire weapons such as artillery and mortar munition systems. This paper will review the literature related to ...

2018年5月15日 · IMX-101 and IMX-104 are made by melt-casting during which NTO, NQ, and RDX crystals are added to the molten DNAN. Since DNAN is less soluble than NTO and NQ, it can shield these compounds from dissolution after they are lost from the particle surface and thereby cause concentration decreases over time.
