Explosive Welding
Abstract
Methods were developed for the successful welding by the explosive forces of 4340 Steel to 4340 Steel, 6 Al-4V Titanium to 6 Al-4V Titanium, and Molybdenum to 310 Stainless Steel. No success was achieved with Bl20 VCA Titanium to Bl20 VCA Titanium and Molybdenum to Molybdenum. Test specimens were in sheet or strip form. All welds were lap-type, with one piece of metal directly over or lapped over the other. Successful welds of the above three metal combinations indicate that explosive forces can be utilized for lap weldments of sheet metals when the proper test parameters and techniques have been investigated and developed.
