HIGH ENERGY RATE METAL FORMING. Final Technical Engineering Report, October 18, 1957 to August 1, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4051751
High-energy-rate metal-forming techniques, for fabrication of structural high-strength components for airframe and spacecraft sheet metal application are presented. The forming techniques demonstrate that the controlled application of the energy available from high-velocity explosives is a safe, efficient, and economical production forming method. The inherent advantages, as well as the limitations of the method, are presented for consideration in the design and production of "difficult to form'' sheet metal components. (auth)
