Replacement of copper during production of current-conducting busbars by aluminium clad with a thin layer of copper allows reducing metal intensity of products preserving the high electric conductivity. The technology of manufacture of coaxial copper-aluminium current-conducting rods using explosion welding and drawing was offered. The modes of heat treatment of rods after drawing were experimentally selected providing the required mechanical properties at a minimum number of forming intermetallics. The methods of calculation of sizes of initial billets providing obtaining the required geometric parameters of a product were described. The possibility of application of explosion reduction of billets instead of explosion welding is shown. 5 Ref., 2 Tables, 7 Figures.

Joining of metals in explosive welding takes place as a result of their plastic deformation during a high speed collision and is usually accompanied by typical formation of waves at the interface. In welding aluminium, the weld boundary can also be straight if the speed of the contact point is νc is ≤ 1900 m/s. These welding conditions make it possible to prevent melting of the metal at the interface and increase at the same time its corrosion resistance. In this article, the effect of the dynamic collision angle on the special features of plastic flow of the metal in the vicinity of the contact boundary in welding sheets of AS5 aluminium is described.
