Description:
Thermites, generally considered to be mixtures of metals and metal oxides, are an important subset of energetic materials. Describing the results of calculations on 800 possible combinations of metal and metal oxide reactants, this practical overview will serve those in energetic materials, pyrometallurgy, chemistry, and materials science.
Review Quotes:
"The author provides a comprehensive overview of numerous binary thermitic systems, describing the results of calculations on over 800 possible combinations of metal, metalloid, and oxide reactants. This is a useful and must-have guide for anyone working in the areas of energetic materials, pyrotechnics, pyrometallurgy, inorganic chemistry, and materials science."
