When a fuze ( note this spelling) of some sort is ignited it will burn or deflegrate ( be sure you know the difference) In some cases when then the chemical composition of the fuze material is a propellant or even an explosive of some type the fuze will transition to a detonation within that material. The question is what attributes of the the material - Chemical and Geometric - will govern if or how or how quickly the material detonate?
