HEP are obtained by mechanical activation of a mixture of metal powders and compounds capable of the necessary chemical reactions.

Mechanical activation provides the maximum contact area of the components to ensure a high rate of chemical interaction in the solid phase.

Chemical interaction of components in the process of mechanical activation is absent.

In the manufacture of VHEP granules, they are saturated with an ultra-high number of defects in the crystal structure, the relaxation of which takes place at high speed with the release of heat.

In the manufacture of PHEP granules, relaxation of crystal structure defects that arose during mechanical activation is carried out.

VHEP include various options for exothermic chemical reactions with high energy effect.

Reactive components of VHEP have a large contact area, which determines the possibility of interaction in the chain mode of thermal explosion.

VHEP are saturated with an ultra-high number of crystal structure defects, the relaxation of which also passes at a high rate with the release of heat.

VHEP after local initiation is capable of self-heating to temperatures from several hundred to several thousand degrees Celsius.

In VHEP with a minimum power and self-heating to temperatures (300-600) °C is the implementation of SHS process (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) in the solid phase.

In VHEP with average power and self – heating to temperatures (700-1500) °C is the implementation of SHS process with the formation of the liquid phase.

In the VHEP with maximum power and self-heating to temperatures above 5000°C, the SSS process (Solid – Steam – Solid) is implemented with the evaporation of components and the formation of a gas plasmoid from dusty ionized plasma.

Various variants of endothermic chemical reactions with high energy effect or phase transition to a new aggregate state of one of the components are incorporated in PHEP.

Reactive components of PHEP have a large contact area, which determines the possibility of interaction with high speed.

PHEP do not have defects in the crystal structure, the relaxation of which takes place with the release of heat.

PHEP after heating to a critical temperature are capable of absorbing energy and thermal stabilization of the entire system, where they are located for a certain time.

A variant of spontaneous return to the initial state is possible when cooling PHEP with components having a reversible reaction.
