Abstract

The paper presents the principles of stress calculations for metal shells sustaining internal impulse loading. The designs of metal explosion chambers (EC) are described; examples of their utilization in scientific research and engineering applications are presented. Aside from conventional methods of the EC use, i.e. explosion welding, explosion hardening, powder compacting, synthesis of new materials, etc., recently the EC has found ever-widening applications in recycling discarded parts containing explosives, such as ammunition. The metal EC provides localization of every explosion damaging effect, improves the safety of works, and enables performing blasting operations both in industrial and laboratory conditions.
