HIGH ENERGY RATE METAL FORMING. Interim Engineering Report No. 4 for January 1 to March 31, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4246195
The tests performed as part of the effort to select the optimum method for high energy rate metal forming and to establish, by metallurgical examination, the quality of the product of this method are presented. An evaluation of several methods for application of explosive energy to the forming of sheet metal is presented, as well as metallurgical data on the effect of direct application of explosives to the metal. An analysis of elongation and thinning characteristics of typical formed parts is included. (auth)
