ABSTRACT: To reduce the cost of the terminal-peak sawtooth shock tests while satisfying technical specifications, this study explores the feasibility of replacing machining with casting for lead cones used in the terminal-peak sawtooth shock. The results show that the terminal-peak sawtooth shock pulses produced by the cast lead cones satisfy test requirements. Meanwhile, the casting route exhibits superior material utilization efficiency, lower production cost, and simpler process flow. Compared with the traditional machining, the manufacturing cost of the 0.5 kg lead cone processed by the casting has decreased by 60.73%.
