Aluminium and copper are two metals frequently used in the automotive and aerospace industries due to their properties of lightness and high conductivity. In this study, copper and aluminium plates were joined using the explosive welding method. The effects of the explosive ratio on the properties of the bonding interface were investigated. Results of the experimental studies showed that the bonding interface changed from a slightly wavy structure to a completely wavy structure as the explosive ratio was increased. It was found that due to the cold deformation resulting from the collision of the flyer and parent plates during the explosion, there was an increase in the hardness values near the bonding interface and on the outer surfaces of the plates. The increase in deformation hardening along with the increasing explosive ratios led to the reduced impact toughness of the composites. In the results of the tensile-shear and bending tests, no separation or fracturing was seen in the bonding interfaces at any of the explosive ratios. As a result, it was seen that the explosive welding method can be used in combining copper and aluminium materials.

A TA1 (Ti alloy)/low alloy steel (LAS) composite plate was manufactured by explosive welding. The effects of the bonding interface microstructure on the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of the composite plate were investigated. The results show that the interface has a wavy structure with intermetallic compounds (IMCs) enclosed by a steel matrix. The metallurgical bonding interface was achieved by local diffusion, with a several micrometer-thick diffusion layer. Two kinds of microcracks were formed in the IMC region and the diffusion interface. Microcracks in the IMC region propagate with difficulty due to the impediment of the IMC/steel interface. The microcracks initiated at the interface need to propagate into the fine-grain steel matrix before crack connection and delamination. The shear strength of the TA1/LAS composite plate was over 350 MPa. The composite plate could be bent up to the equipment limit (135 degrees). Excellent mechanical properties were obtained since the crack propagation was hindered by the refined or elongated steel grains induced during explosive welding.

The Cu/Al composites conductive head is widely used in hydrometallurgy as the core component of cathode plate. Its conductive properties directly affect the power consumption, and the bonding strength and corrosion resistance determine the conductive head service life. The Cu/Al conductive head prepared by explosion welding, cold pressure welding, and solid-liquid casting methods were investigated in this paper. The interface microstructure and compositions were examined by scanning electron microscope and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry. The bonding strength, interface conductivity, and the corrosion resistance of three types of joints were characterized. The Cu/Al bonding interface produced by explosive welding presented a wavy-like morphology with typical defects and many of brittle compounds. A micro-interlocking effect was caused by the sawtooth structures on the cold pressure welding interface, and there was no typical metallurgical reaction on the interface. The Cu/Al bonding interface prepared by solid-liquid casting consisted mainly of an Al-Cu eutectic microstructure (Al2Cu+Al) and partial white slag inclusion. The thickness of the interface transition layer was about 200–250 µm, with defects such as holes, cracks, and unwelded areas. The conductivity, interfacial bonding strength, and corrosion resistance of the conductive head prepared by explosive welding were superior to the other two.

The paper presents the results of physical modelling of the plastic deformation of the Mg/Al bimetallic specimens using the Gleeble 3800 simulator. The plastic deformation of Mg/Al bimetal specimens characterized by the diameter to thickness ratio equal to 1 was tested in compression tests. The aim of this work was determination of the range of parameters as temperature and strain rate that mainly influence on the plastic deformation of Mg/Al bars during metal forming processes. The tests were carried out for temperature range from 300 to 400°C for different strain rate values. The stock was round 22.5 mm-diameter with an Al layer share of 28% Mg/Al bars that had been produced using the explosive welding method. Based on the analysis of the obtained testing results it has been found that one of the main process parameters influencing the plastic deformation the bimetal components is the initial stock temperature and strain rate values.

This article presents research results relating to the potential for waste utilization in the form of polymer optical fiber (POF) scraps. This material is difficult to recycle due to its diverse construction. Three different volumes of POF were used in concrete in these tests: 1%, 2%, and 3%. The experimental studies investigated the basic properties of the concrete, the elastic and dynamic moduli, as well as deformation and deflection of reinforced beams. The microstructures, including the interfacial transition zones (ITZs), were recorded and analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. It was observed that 180 freezing–thawing cycles reduced the concrete frost resistance containing 3% POFs by half compared to the control concrete. The resistance to salt crystallization of this concrete decreased by about 55%. POFs have significant effects on the splitting tensile and flexural strengths compared to the compressive strength. The control beams were destroyed during the four-point static bending tests at half the force applied to the beams that were reinforced with POFs.

In this study, explosive welding was used in the cladding of aluminum plates to ship steel plates at different explosive ratios. Ship steel-aluminum bimetal composite plates were manufactured and the influence of the explosive ratio on the cladded bonding interface was examined. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) studies were employed for the characterization of the bonding interface of the manufactured ship steel-aluminum bimetal composites. Tensile-shear, notch impact toughness, bending and twisting tests, and microhardness studies were implemented to determine the mechanical features of the bimetal composite materials. In addition, neutral salt spray (NSS) tests were performed in order to examine the corrosion behavior of the bimetal composites.

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.

Bonding interface in aluminum (Al) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) clad fabricated by explosive welding has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The nanocrystalline region was clearly observed at the interface between Al and Si3N4. Electron diffraction pattern and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurements across the interface revealed that this nanocrystalline region consist of the only aluminum.
