Energy Kinetics in Explosive Cladding of Dissimilar Metals with Interlayer

Abstract:

In explosive cladding, the kinetic energy spent at the dissimilar interface transformed into thermal energy and characterizes the quality of clad. Explosive cladding with interlayer enhances the kinetic energy utilization and restricts the intermetallic formation. The introduction of interlayer increases the heat transfer area and duration of collision and, consequently, the time available for thermal energy transferred into the metals. The thermal energy is transferred to the participant metals by conduction and convection. The influence of interlayer between flyer and base plates on weldability window, an analytical estimation is also reported.
