Abstract
Although explosive forming, that, is high-energy and high strain rate forming Process. started as an experimental-process a couple of years ago, it has now grown to be on a production scale in several plants.
In the previous report, we confirmed the basic data concerning the explosive forming.
In this paper, we assessed the practical value of this procces based on above results. Series of experiments were made with the metal die, shown in Fig. 2, and reinforced epoxy resine dies, shown in Fig. 3, 4, and condition of explosive forrnine. accuracy and strain distribution of products were studied.
