72, Metal Deforming,
56+, for shaping of metal by kinetic energy of a fluid or a field.
102, Ammunition and Explosives,
301+, for a process of blasting under the class definition.
148, Metal Treatment, appropriate subclasses for processes that combine use of significant heat treatment of metal as a separate step with metal deforming using an explosion to apply working pressure. Particularly, see Class 148,
515, and section III, A, of the Class 148 definition. 228, Metal Fusion Bonding,
107+, for a process of metallurgical bonding utilizing explosive energy.
