    Have a friend who does sculpture with copper using explosives. Has to call the local sheriff when he does it. This is done to let him know where the loud bangs are coming from. Frank

    The main "feature" is HYDRO forming ie using water as a transfer of pressure.

    For fireforming cartridges the beast is way different.
    Thus you "need" a shot of pistol powder and a full filling of fine cereal, corn meal etc.

    Research about how they make artificial diamonds - that's huge pressure.

    When they set off underground nukes is that fire forming the Earth?

    Explosive forming is used to form complex contours using titanium sheets and plates for aircraft, military stuff.
