EXPLOSIVES CASTING

Specialty Definition: EXPLOSIVES CASTING

DomainDefinition

Mining

In explosives casting, large amounts of low-cost ammonium nitrate mixtures are loaded into medium-sized drill holes in a usual ratio of more than 1 lb of powder per cubic yard (0.59 kg/m3 ) of overburden. The explosive charges are detonated through millisecond-delay electric blasting caps. When the shot is fired, a large part of the overburden is blasted into the pit away from the high wall and up on the spoil pilewhere it attains a favorable angle of repose. (references)
