Abstract:

A new liquid fire-extinguishing agent for combustible metal fires was evaluated. Aircraft rescue fire fighters may confront metal fires, such as magnesium and titanium, in aircraft brake assemblies, landing gear components, aircraft engines, and other structural components of aircraft. A combustible metal on fire could be a possible ignition source or a continuing source of ignition in an aircraft fire. The standard method for extinguishing combustible metal fires consists of using sodium chloride dry powder to smother the burning metal.
