Explosive Welding: Processes and Structures

By B a Greenberg, M A Ivanov, S V Kuzmin

This reference explores explosion welding, a high intensity, transient impact that achieves metal compounds not obtainable otherwise. Electron microscopy images cover the structure of numerous welded joints including titanium-orthorhombic titanium aluminide, copper-tantalum, aluminum-tantalum, iron-silver, steel-steel, and copper-titanium. These weldable pairs have different solubility than their initial elements. The authors present various processes and structures including granulating fragmentation, cusps, splashes, and quasi-wave interface. Specific risk zones for chemical and petrochemical (coke chamber) reactors are probed and suggestions offered.

Key Features:

Offers new theories about explosion welding processes and structures Investigates dozens of weldable pairs with differing solubility from initial elements Studies both hetero- and homogeneous pairs Explores welded joints with flat, wavy and quasi-wavy separation boundaries Observes irregularities of the separation surface relief observing asperities and splashes and their transformation under intensified welding modes Unveils a new type of fragmentation under explosion welding

Explosive Welding: Processes and Structures is a valuable resource for a wide range of experts involved in explosion welding, engineers, as well as graduate and postgraduate students.
