Abstract:
It has been experimentally shown that the flameless combustion of RDX mixtures with iron precursors, nitrogen-containing additives, and a polymer binder can lead to the formation of iron nitrides. Nanosized particles of iron nitride $(\mathrm{Fe}_3\mathrm{N})$ were obtained by optimizing the ratio of initial components and conditions of flameless combustion of RDX. The developed method for obtaining iron nitrides can be used to obtain nanosized particles of nitrides of other elements.
