Effect of heat treatment on bonding interface in explosive welded copper/stainless steel

Weldability window and the effect of interface morphology on the properties of Al/Cu/Al laminated composites fabricated by explosive welding

“…ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 13 formation of wavy morphology and the latter results in several metallurgical changes [43].…”

Numerical simulation of explosive welding using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method

“…This technique enables to clad very large section of plates in a single operation and allows us to fabricate large scale composite laminates. Until now, many material combinations, including Al-Cu, Ti-steel, Cu-steel, W-Cu and even multi-layers of metals such as Mg-Al-Ti-Cu-Mo have been welded together using this method [3][4][5][6][7]. However, due to its fast welding characteristic, it is difficult to directly observe and measure the process of explosive welding.…”

Study on the microstructure and mechanical properties of explosive welded 2205/X65 bimetallic sheet

“…Raghukandan explosively cladded low carbon steel with copper and discussed the effects of flyer thickness, loading ratio, angle of inclination and stand-off on the clad strength [4]. Ahmet et al experimentally demonstrated that copper and stainless steel could be bonded with a good quality of bonding properties through explosion welding [5]. Bina et al produced copper/austenitic stainless steel couple by explosive welding and improved its mechanical properties by post weld heat treatment [6].…”
