>>28847852desu it sounds like there's nothing wrong with ammonium nitrate itself, it's just shitty mechanical design that caused the issue.>But why did the ammonium nitrate break down? Blomquist, who studied Takata airbags for NHTSA’s investigation, says moisture from humid air penetrated the seals around the ammonium nitrate’s housing. Over time, moisture transformed the ammonium nitrate from a uniform solid to one riddled with channels via a process known as Ostwald ripening. The problem was exacerbated by high temperatures, so it was worse in parts of the US with warm, humid weather. When the airbag deployed, hot gas from combustion flowed through the channels quickly and burned through the material in just 3–5 ms, rather than the 30 ms it was designed to.>“So instead of pushing gas out of a hole at a nice, well-behaved rate, it comes all at once, and it blows the structure apart,” Blomquist says. He estimates that in hot, humid regions, the ammonium nitrate airbag inflators can become compromised within 6 years.https://cen.acs.org/safety/chemicals-make-airbags-inflate-changed/100/i41
