KLamTranslation
: Chauffer des explosifs... mais en plus pendant / lors / ... Ceci est complètement faux. Le terme explosif thermique désigne un explosif sensible à la chaleur, quelque soit la phase de traitement.

small fly in the ointment: "explosif thermique" IS NOT in the ST - what is in the ST is "heating (verb) explosives (subject of the verb) during processing" - mentioned as one of the risks during processing [of unspecified explosives]

: Of course! This is the only way I can find to interpret the source text; it is well known that some explosives need to be heated (gently!) in order to get them out of their casing

: se chauffer aux explosifs? la plupart de ceux qui l'ont essayé n'ont plus été en mesure de donner leur avis sur cette idée...

: Agree with Daryo and his explanation in the Discussion box. Explosives are not usually used for heating — well, other than rather dramatically!

Explosifs thermiques
Une explosion peut résulter d'une augmentation brutale de température quand un procédé dégage plus de chaleur (par réaction chimique, frottement, compression, chauffage par micro-ondes...) que le système peut en évacuer et perdre vers l’extérieur. Il y a alors « explosion thermique » due à une libération brutale et massive d’énergie, souvent, avec émissions importantes de gaz et vapeurs inflammables ou toxiques.
Discussion
If the sentence is complete (maybe the Title of a chapter), then I acknowledge that I'm totally wrong.
Heating explosives during processing.
=
Heating (verb) explosives (subject of the verb) during processing
that parsing makes sense - grammatically and in real life: the ST is about various risks that can occur during the processing [of ammunition], and heating explosives above their point of ignition is definitely a risk to be avoided.
Seeing "Heating explosives" as adjective + noun, supposed to mean "thermal explosives" (+ during processing)
is a grammatical nonsense: "during" can only be attached to a verb or a noun describing some action - where is the passing of time in "Explosifs thermiques"?
"Explosifs thermiques pendant le traitement des munitions" sounds logical?
