The influence of composite material in the stemming design on its operability

The paper presents analytical and experimental results of studies to increase the time of locking of the explosion products in the explosive cavity (well). When making stemming with the use of composite materials, one should consider the surface area of the filler particles in the stemming material, as too large or too small area may lead to excessive brittleness, or too high plasticity of the interlocking device. The calculations carried out according to the proposed method show that preserving the plastic properties of the interlocking device is only possible if a filler with certain particle sizes is used. The considered material of all possible applications turned out to be the most suitable filler, both from the economic and technological points of view. In this paper, the presented algorithm for calculating the optimal particle size of the filler material can be interpreted as a complete calculation method.
