EXPLOSIVE FORMING OF CLOSURES FOR LARGE SOLID PROPELLANT MOTOR CASES

Abstract

Explosively formed 120-inch diameter heads with 37-inch and 48-inch deflection are described. Comparisons of results from free forming and ice die forming are made and the relative advantages of each are presented. Specific problem areas associated with material procurement and material handling because of the unique sizes involved are briefly described.
