Explosive-Welded Fiber Reinforced Materials: Status of Technique and Possibilities of Development (Explosivgeschweisste Faserverbundwerkstoffe - Stand der Technik und Entwicklungsmoeglichkeiten)
Abstract
A wide variety of fibers (boron, V2A, tungsten, molybdenum, etc) have been successfully imbedded in a number of metal matrices (aluminum, nickel, zirconium, titanium) using an explosive welding technique. Semi-finished products can also be manufactured to provide shapes such as wing profiles, blades, etc. Tensile strength measured have been as high as those above theoretically predicted. Mass production methods are also discussed. The materials are extremely heat resistant and it is thinkable that 150 cm fiber reinforced turbine blades could be made which could withstand temperatures up to 1100 deg. C.
