The Analysis of Al-Cu Bimetallic Bars Bond Layers Joined by the Explosive Method

Abstract:

The paper presents investigation results for obtaining a semi-finished product in the form of round Al-Cu bimetallic bars by the explosion method. The systems and technological parameters of explosion welding were selected in such a manner as to obtain finished bimetallic bars of an outer diameter of approx. 22 mm and a copper area fraction of the bimetal cross-section of approx. 15 and 30%. In this work was made an analysis of microstructure changes and the microhardness distribution on the cross-sections of the stock materials. There were also made tests of layers connections quality by determining the maximum shear stress on the joint boundary. The results show that the explosive cladding method guarantee a permanent connection of copper layers and aluminum core.
