Ensuring High Performance Characteristics For Explosion-Welded Bimetals

Abstract

Analytical relations are found for determining the rotation-angle and contact-point-velocity values that the flying plate in explosion welding must have to obtain the limiting uniform strains in the cladding layer. These values determine the parameters of explosion welding and the size of the weld gap. Laminated metallic composites obtained by the explosion-welding regimes proposed in this article have superior wearresistance characteristics during service.
