AbstractA new method for cast‐loading of explosive charges is described. Up to now cooling was used to solidify the melt of the explosive. In this method the state of the explosive is changed by applying pressure which causes an immediate rise of the melting point according to Clausius‐Clapeyron's equation. The total melt solidifies immediately and uniformly. The method has the advantage that voids are avoided and short loading times are obtained if the melting point is raised in this manner to the temperature momentarily present in the explos
