Detonation of ammonium nitrate and dynammons with and without inert additives

The detonation velocities of 10–60 mm thick, flat charges of ammonium nitrate and mixtures of it with various liquid and solid fuels plus added inert components in varied amounts and dispersions are determined experimentally. These explosives have been used for cladding of flat metal stock with areas of up to 12 mm$^2$ by explosion welding with thicknesses of the cladding layer ranging from 1 to 30 mm and of the base layer, from 4 to 120 mm.
