Jet Forming Cone (JFC)

Published: 15th January 2025

A Jet Forming Cone (JFC) is a precisely shaped liner, often constructed from a dense metal such as copper or magnesium, that is a key element in the Munroe effect within a shaped charge. Upon detonation, the cone collapses inward, transforming into a high-speed jet. Its geometry and material properties are carefully designed to ensure the controlled formation of this jet when subjected to the hydrodynamic forces of a detonation wave, for applications such as penetration or other specific purposes.
