EXPLOSIVE FORMING OF REFRACTORY METALS

Abstract

Explosive forming tests, some employing the photo-grid technique for elongation measurement were c ntinued with 60 firings having been completed. Strain rate data and metal movement velocity were measured by strain gage/oscilloscope techniques. RDX and 15% dynamite were studied in this way, with three transmitting media, and the data are reported. Preliminary tests were conducted on Nb with partial succes in some of the first five firings. Information is supplied on the microstructure and physical properties of the test ma erials. 9author)
