Detonation properties refer to the characteristics of explosive materials that determine how they react when detonated. These properties include the speed of detonation, pressure generated, and the energy released during the explosion. Understanding these factors is crucial for applications in fields like mining, demolition, and military operations. Key factors influencing detonation properties include the chemical composition of the explosive, its density, and the presence of additives. For example, TNT and ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) have different detonation velocities and energy outputs, making them suitable for specific uses in construction and demolition.
