ELECTROPLATING EXPLOSIVE DEVICES,
Abstract
Techniques for electroplating explosive items are described. Electroplating was used to encase mild detonating fuse terminating detonators, and small pressed charges, both flat-ended and shaped. Conventional leadsheathed flexible linear shaped charge showed improved performance when plated with a thin sheath of silver. Underwater charges were sealed and confined by electroplating with copper. Fabrication and testing data for the above items plus other suggested applications are given. (Author)
