Abstract
Researches aim to develop new knowledge in the metal cutting field, using a relatively new technique with a low number of
applications nationwide, namely the flexible explosive charge with cumulative effect for fast and precise cutting of metals. The
procedure of cutting with explosives is a process that involves using and handling materials in their solid phase.This procedure is
especially applied in cases where materials are mostly metals and it uses a directed and controlled cumulative explosive effect.
Thereby, developing a safe and complex method of cutting and starting to use technologies that are innovative, clean and
ecological, there will be advantages, both technical (different applications on materials with different shapes, sizes, structures,
stresses), economic (productivity, reductions of consumption, materials and costs) and environmental (reducing emission of
greenhouse gases generated from the current cutting technologies).
