eng	Change in Sensitiveness of Flegmatized High Explosives after Artificial Aging	An isothermal heating of four samples of wax flegmatized high explosives at 70°C for 113 days was performed to simulate artificial aging. This research was done as a part of an extensive program dealing with characterization of aging process of military explosives. Changes in sensitiveness to impact, friction and electrostatic discharge due to artificial aging were evaluated. Sensitiveness increase to all stimuli was observed despite the thermal characteristics (from DTA, VST) remained same. The tests were as well performed on pure RDX, PETN and PETN/TNT (90/100) for comparison. The changes in sensitiveness were not observed in case of these samples	sensitiveness to external stimuli, high explosives, artificial aging, thermal stability
