A combustion performance test method of nanometer aluminum powder includes the following steps of mixing the nanometer aluminum powder and glycidyl azide polymer (GAP), fully stirring the nanometer aluminum powder and the glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) to form medicament slurry to be tested, pouring the medicament slurry to be tested into a thin-wall straight plastic tube with one sealed end to form a medicament tube to be tested, fixing the medicament tube to be tested on a medicament frame of a combustion chamber, binding one end, not being sealed, of the medicament tube to be tested with nichrome wire to fix the one end, not being sealed, of the medicament tube to be tested, wrapping the end surface of the end, not being sealed, of the medicament tube to be tested with ignition powder, placing the medicament frame of the combustion chamber bond with the medicament tube to be tested in the combustion chamber of an underwater acoustic emission combustor, pressing an ignition button to conduct a combustion speed test, recording a test result, exhausting air, discharging water, taking out the medicament frame of the combustion chamber, cleaning the medicament frame of the combustion chamber, repeatedly testing each identical sample for five times at a fixed temperature and a fixed pressure point, eliminating abnormal data to obtain an average value which serves as the final test result of the single-point combustion speed, and calculating the combustion pressure exponent and the combustion speed temperature sensitivity coefficient. The combustion performance test method of the nanometer aluminum powder has the advantages of being simple, easy to operate, short in testing period and free from preparing a large number of samples to be tested.
