Abstract
A small underwater explosion forms a large, dish-shaped end closure for a tank car; a thin layer of explosive detonated over the surface of a railroad frog improves the mechanical properties of the high-manganese steel part; the simultaneous detonation of several strips of sheet explosive welds together components of dissimilar metals in the fabrication of a heat exchanger; and in a powder metallurgy process the shock pressures from an explosion produce a high-density preform. All of these examples are but a small sampling of the many and diverse operations now being performed in the industrial field of high-energy-rate metalworking where the constructive use of explosives is being applied in order to broaden the scope of manufacturing techniques, lower the costs, and shorten the lead time required in the production and fabrication of reliable metal parts.
