- Abstract
- The average burn rates of several metals and alloys were determined at oxygen pressures between 3.45 and 68.9l MPa (500 and 10,000 psig) and ambient temperature. Several materials were tested at elevated sample temperatures. The test materials were fabricated into solid cylindrical rods and mounted vertically in the test chamber. A magnetium igniter was positioned at the bottom end of each test specimen to promote upward burn propagations.
