Explosion <strong>Welding</strong><br />

<strong>Welding</strong> is achieved in this process by very high contact pressure pressure<br />

developed by detonating a thin layer of explosive placed over one one<br />

of the pieces to be joined. The detonation imparts high kinetic<br />

energy to the piece which on striking the other piece causes plastic plastic<br />

deformation <strong>and</strong> squeezes the contaminated surface layers out of<br />

the interface resulting in a high quality welded joint. No filler filler<br />

material is used <strong>and</strong> no diffusion takes place. The nature of bond bond<br />

is<br />

metallurgical, in many cases combined with a mechanical<br />

interlocking that results from rippled or wavy interface between the<br />

metals.
