“…Explosive welding (EW) has great potential to address both issues. This welding method is possible due to the high pressure produced by the explosion [ 3 , 4 ] and has several advantages over the above-mentioned thermobimetal production methods [ 5 ].…”

This paper presents the results of a study of the morphology and structure at the weld interface in a brass–Invar bimetal, which belongs to the class of so-called thermostatic bimetals, or thermobimetals. The structure of the brass–Invar weld interface was analyzed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with the use of energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry and back-scattered electron diffraction (BSE) to identify the phases. The distribution of the crystallographic orientation of the grains at the weld interface was obtained using an e-Flash HR electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) detector and a forward-scatter detector (FSD). The results of the study indicated that the weld interface had the wavy structure typical of explosive welding. The wave crests and troughs showed the presence of melted zones consisting of a disordered Cu–Zn–Fe–Ni solid solution and undissolved Invar particles. The pattern quality map showed that the structure of brass and Invar after explosive welding consisted of grains that were strongly elongated towards the area of the highest intensive plastic flow. In addition, numerous deformation twins, dislocation accumulations and shear bands were observed. Thus, based on the results of this study, the mechanism of Cu–Zn–Fe–Ni structure formation can be proposed.
