Modelling of process parameters in explosive cladding of mildsteel and aluminium

An investigation on the explosive cladding of 316L stainless steel-din-P355GH steel

“…A full set of tests that measure the mechanical properties of cladded metals by explosive, is likely to consist of one shear, one tensile and two bend tests, although in most cases the tensile shear test will provide all of the required information. Another routine test that is called ram test, measures the bend strength in tension and is often used for aluminum clads [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Because of these, tensile shear test was used in this study.…”

“…Although, mechanical and metallurgical properties and modeling of those explosively welded metals combinations have been investigated by several researchers [1,2,[4][5][6][7], there are no reports in literature about metallurgical and mechanical properties which consist of Charpy impact test of 316L stainless steel to steel cladding. Hence, the mechanical and metallurgical properties of cladded metal are investigated in detail.…”

Microstructural and mechanical properties of Cu–Ti plates bonded through explosive welding process

“…Explosive welding is a solid-state process in which controlled explosive detonations force two or more metals together at high pressures [1][2][3]. It is used to joint directly a wide variety of similar or dissimilar metals that cannot be joint by any other welding or bonding technique [4][5][6]. Extensive researches on explosive welding have been focused on the microstructural changes at the interface between the different kinds of metals and the effects of base plate or flyer plate on the wave morphology in welded interfaces [7].…”

The effects of heat treatment on the microstructure and microhardness of explosive welding

“…Furthermore, the process is capable of joining with high surface areas due to its ability to distribute the high energy density through explosion (Crossland, 1971(Crossland, , 1976Vonne et al, 1984;Brasher et al, 1995). Up to now, low carbon steel Ghanadzadeh et al, 2003), steel and aluminium (Han et al, 2003;Balasubrahmanian et al, 1997;Acarer et al, 2008;Du et al, 2007), steel and titanium (Ege et al, 1998;Mousavi et al, 2008Mousavi et al, , 2009, nickel film and aluminium alloys (Gerland et al, 2000), duplex stainless steel and low carbon steel (Kacar et al, 2003), iron and copper (Livne et al, 1987;Durgutlu et al, 2005;, titanium and austenitic stainless steel (Mudali et al, 2003), aluminium, copper and magnesium (Fan et al, 2003;Watanabe et al, 2009;Gulenc, 2008;Ghaderi et al, 2008) were cladded successfully. Explosive welding is also useful for producing a thin surface sheet with a minimal reduction in ductility.…”
