Aluminum containing explosives (dull black aluminum, DHL) have issues with safety and energy output. An insensitive single-compound explosive FOX-7 (1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene) was used as the main explosive, high-purity ultrafine amorphous boron powder (B) was used as the high-energy fuel, ammonium perchlorate (AP) was used as the oxidant and gas generator, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) was used as the binder, and microcrystalline wax was used as the desensitizer. Based on relevant theories, the optimization design of the explosive formula was carried out. Finally, a formula based on impact sensitivity was adopted, and a mixed explosive was prepared by wet ballmilling-assisted solvent evaporation method. The packing density of this explosive is 1.469 g/cm3, with an impact sensitivity of 10%, a friction sensitivity of 12%, a detonation heat of 8 092.9 kJ/kg, and a five-second delay period of 303 ℃. Vacuum stability of the explosive is qualified, and the thermal stability is good. Therefore, this explosive is an insensitive high-energy explosive that can replace DHL explosives.
