Abstract

The paper discusses the application of laser illumination and brightness amplification techniques for studying the process of high-temperature combustion of aluminum and iron nanopowders and their mixtures. The laser equipment for visualization based on solid-state laser illuminator, brightness amplifier on copper bromide vapors and high-speed camera is considered. These approaches allow the increase of monitoring distance to 50 cm, which is important for high-temperature processes imaging. The video images allow studying the surface morphology changes during high-temperature combustion identifying the main stages of the combustion, spreading of the heat wave and cooling.
