Abstract

New material processing tools should be developed and reduced to the practice in order to meet the challenges facing the contemporary material production industry, One of such potentially important tools is supersonic liquid projectiles. It was shown that at the speed of 1500-1750 m/s the water projectile are able to demolish reinforced concrete plates, forge, to pierce and weld metals, to destroy with no explosion non dischargeable mines, etc. These projectiles are generated by simple, low cost launchers run. It is obvious that these projectiles can be applied to the ore mining and comminution. Thermodynamic considerations show feasibility of the use of these projectiles also for smelting, refining and forming. The presented paper discusses the results of the experimental study of supersonic liquid projectiles as well their potential metallurgical applications.
