What is the explosive clad plate?

Explosive clad plate is a composite material manufactured using explosive welding technology. This material combines the advantages of different metals or alloys to meet specific performance requirements, such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and good electrical conductivity.

Explosive welding, also named as explosive cladding, is a method of welding metals using explosives as energy. The high-pressure shock wave generated by the explosion will drive the upper metal plate at high speed towards the lower metal plate, causing severe plastic deformation at the contact surface and forming a strong metallurgical bond.

The explosive welding interface has the characteristics of melting diffusion and pressure welding, and is a special pressure welding. The explosive welding joint area has plastic deformation, appropriate melting and diffusion between atoms, which are the characteristics of metal pressure welding, melting welding and diffusion welding. Because this metallurgical bonding has a strong bonding strength, there will be no delamination when the torsion generated during the spinning process.

The explosive composite plate manufacturing process enables a variety of metal materials to be combined together, such as titanium/steel, zirconium/titanium/steel, aluminum/steel, copper/steel, nickel/aluminum, etc. Especially large-format medium and thick plates can be combined at the moment of explosion. It not only improves labor efficiency, but also solves the problem of large-area cladding and some precious metal materials that cannot be clad. Such as zirconium/titanium/steel, aluminum/stainless steel, etc.
