Abstract

Explosive Metal Cladding is a High Speed Welding Process using the energy of an explosive to bond different metals and alloys in a 2-dimensinal areal configuration. Parameters influencing the cladding process are discussed and the potentials of the method are presented. Microscopic properties of a Cu-Al and a Steel-Ti transition zone are studied in detail to get a better knowledge of the principle mechanisms included in the bond creation. A perspective for future applications of explosive cladding in different industries like automotive and aerospace is given.
