KnowraHigh explosiveLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to High explosive, each with the reason it gives.All 9Broader topic 1Narrower topic 5Compared with 3DetonationBroader topic: Its reaction front is engineered to propagate through the material.Black powderCompared with: Black powder normally deflagrates, unlike high explosives that detonate.Shaped chargeNarrower topic: Its detonation supplies the pressure that deforms the liner.PyrotechnicsCompared with: Pyrotechnic compositions are generally designed for effects rather than high-explosive shock.DetonatorNarrower topic: Detonators are designed to initiate charges made from these comparatively powerful materials.Tandem-charge warheadNarrower topic: The charges in a tandem warhead use high explosives to produce their effects.Thermobaric weaponCompared with: Conventional high explosives produce a sharp detonation, unlike fuel-cloud burning.WarheadNarrower topic: Many warheads use high explosives to produce blast, fragmentation, or shaped-charge effects.Plastic explosiveNarrower topic: Plastic explosives belong to this class because their energetic material can detonate rather than merely burn.
