Abstract: In order to explore whether the drawn-molded oxygen-free copper tube meets the ductility requirements of standard cylinder test, a standard copper tube for SymbolFA@25 mm cylinder test was made of coarse-grained soft oxygen-free copper without secondary forging by using the drawing process. The high-speed framing camera and scanning camera were used to observe the expansion and fracture processes of copper tube under detonation loading of TNT and JO-159 explosives, and compare the difference of fracture strain and the direction of crack propagation in the typical high strain rate range. The influence of strain energy of copper tube on the characterization parameters of driving performance of explosive was also analyzed. The results show that the cracks of copper tubes are mainly formed and expanded along the busbar and the fragments are mainly strip-like under the detonation loading of TNT explosive. However, under the detonation loading of JO-159 explosive, a more complicated staggered state arises in the fracture zone, and the copper tube expands to form dense small fragments. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the circumferential and axial strain rates of copper tubes under detonation loading of JO-159 explosive are 1.34 and 2 times of those under detonation loading of TNT. Under the detonation loading of these two kinds of explosives, the fracture diameter reaches 3 times of the initial diameter, and the Gurney speed, which characterizes the driving performance of explosives, is not changed significantly. Therefore, the copper tubes can meet the requirements of the general high-energy explosives for cylinder test. Key
