Abstract: A simplified equivalent model is established to study the cook-off characteristics of detonation train of fuze. The cook-off test with a heating rate of 3.3 ℃/h was carried out for a fuze filled with FOX-7 lead and booster explosoves. Two equivalent schemes were designed for the same cook-off test of the equivalent components. On the basis of the experiment, a cook-off model of the equivalent components is established, and the ignition sequence of the detonation train is studied through numerical simulation. The heat transfer theory is used to analyze the ignition mechanism, and explain the ignition cause of booster explosive. The results show that the ignition occurs when the temperature at the bottom of the outer wall is 177.1 ℃. The responses of two equivalent components are the same as that of the full fuze. They are all deflagration reactions, and the fragmentation status is basically the same. The equivalent scheme is feasible. The ignition point is in the center of booster explosive, and the combustion of booster explosive causes the deflagration reaction of lead explosive. The lead explosive is generally ignited firstly during cook-off when the lead and booster explosives are the same. Key
