Construction of spherical tanks by explosive hydroforming

Factamero_ on Instagram: "When metal meets a shockwave, it stops behaving like something rigid and unyielding. This process is called explosive hydroforming, and it uses a controlled blast to give metal a precise shape. Water fills the chamber and transmits the shockwave almost without energy loss. The metal is pressed against a mold, and a single impulse reshapes it completely. At such extreme speeds, metal becomes stronger and less likely to tear. That’s how industry can create large, lightwei
