Abstract

A method of producing a low-carbon iron material to cover an explosive charge and the iron material produced by same wherein the molten raw iron material is refined to produce a dissolved carbon content in the iron material of less than 0.01 wieght percent, the refined iron material is cast in a deoxidized state, and a homogeneous structure of the material is set by high temperature reshaping of the casting at a temperature greater than 880.degree. C. to produce a material grain size of less than 100 .mu.m.
