DIRECT CONTACT DETONATION EXPLOSIVES METAL FORMING.

Abstract

The forming of hemispheres from flat circular metal blanks by the use of compression forming dies and nitroguanidine detonated in direct contact with the workpiece is described. Direct contact detonation effects are discussed. Relationships between workpiece deformation and workpiece and explosive charge parameters were studied and the results of experiments with low carbon, AISI 4130, 9Ni-4Co, Ladish D6AC, and 18Ni-7Co-5Mo steels to form 6 inch and 18 inch diameter hemispheres on compression forming dies are presented.
