High Energy Bonding of Lead-Steel Composites.
Abstract
XPLOSIVE FORMINGSteel 1020, *High energy rate bondingEffects of stand-off distance and explosive charge thickness on bond integrity for high energy bonded lead-steel composites were determined using chemical lead type 'B' at 1/8 in. thickness, clad onto 1020 type steel at 1/4 in. thickness. Bond intergity was evaluated using chisel, bend, tensile-shear and metallographic techniques. Effect of explosive thickness on detonation velocity and propagation characteristics for a low velocity granular type (Carrifrax NE 1331) explosive were determined. Optimum procedure for high energy bonding of lead-steel composites is outlined. State-of-the-Art for high energy forming and bonding in the United Kingdom and West Germany is reviewed. (Author)
