The aim of this project was to study how the particle size and morphology of magnesium powder affect the burning and infrared radiation characteristics of foil-type Mg/PTFE/Viton (MTV) infrared decoys. A long-wavelength thermal imager and an OPAG33 Fourier transform infrared remote-sensing spectrometer were used to characterize the burning and infrared radiation. The results show that the burning rate, burning temperature, and far-infrared radiation intensity of the decoys are improved significantly with decreased particle size. The burning rate, burning temperature, and far-infrared radiation intensity of the flake-like powder are higher than for the spherical powder of the same particle size.
