Detonating code, which is a flexible code with an explosive core, is normally used to transmit the ignition of explosives with high detonation velocity 6 km/s. Therefore it is difficult to use detonating code for the explosive welding of common metals toward the detonating direction since the welding velocity exceeds the sound velocity of metals. Hence, an explosive welding method using underwater shock wave generated by the detonation of detonating code was tried. In the present investigation, the details of the experimental setup and results are reported. And the welding conditions are discussed through numerical simulation. From these results it is observed that the above technique is suitable to weld thin metal plates with relatively less explosives.

Recently, underwater explosive welding shows its advantage in some difficult-to-weld combinations such as material with thin thickness, high hardness, and fragile quality. The pattern of the typical wave morphology in the interface of the welding specimen indicates the suitability of the selected experimental parameters and sound strength of the laminates. For the existence of the water, traditional Gurney formula and Aziz formula can not directly be used to evaluate the velocity and acceleration process of the flyer plate. Numerical simulation is necessary and irreplaceable for existing knowledge. Underwater explosive welding process was numerically simulated by ANSYS/LS-DYNA to explore the underwater shock wave and deformation process of the flyer plate. Velocity and pressure distribution of welding plates were obtained. The velocity of the flyer plate could satisfy the minimum velocity in explosive welding. It was found that water prevented the gross distortion and ensured the integrity of the composite laminate. Welding rate was increased by expanding the size of the explosive.

In this report, we propose a new explosive welding method, and the welding is performed at employing underwater shock pressure produced by the underwater explosion of an explosive placed at one side almost vertical to the specimen to be welded. In order to prevent the reduction of the shock pressure with the distance away from explosive, a steel reflector is placed over the area of the specimen. The effects of the reflector are investigated based on the experimental results and the process is numerically analyzed results.
