Use of Corrosion-Resistant Steels Alloyed with Nitrogen as a Bimetal Cladding Layer Prepared by Explosion Welding

Abstract

Research results are used to confirm the compatibility of workable chromium martensitic steels alloyed with nitrogen for a cladding layer and low-alloy steels as the base layer in producing two-layer sheets by explosion welding. Satisfactory results are obtained in bend tests for bimetal steel samples that together with the results of metallographic analysis and ultrasonic testing confirm the workability of the martensitic steels developed and alloyed with nitrogen for preparing two-layer steels by explosion welding.
