It is assumed that the elasticity of the material at the interface effectively determines the wavelength, because explosive welding is basically a solid-state welding process. To this end, an analytical model of elastic hydrodynamic instabilities is proposed, and the most unstable mode is selected in the solid phase. Similar approaches have been widely used to study the interfacial behavior of solid metals in high-energy-density physics. By comparing the experimental and theoretical results, it is concluded that thermal softening,which significantly reduces the shear modulus, is necessary and sufficient for successful welding. The thermal softening is verified by theoretical analysis of the increase in temperature due to the impacting and sliding of the flyer and base plates, and some experimental observations are qualitatively validated.In summary, the combined effect of the KH and RT instabilities in solids determines the wavy morphology, and our theoretical results are in good qualitative agreement with experimental and numerical observations.展开更多

With different colliding angles, they can be fitted by using exponential curve. That is, the exponential curve can be regarded as the token curve in explosive welding..展开更多

The testing device adopted induction coil to heat and carry out two groups of thermal fatigue test at the same time. Metallurgical microscope and scanning electron microscope were used to respectively measure the surface crack and cross-section crack propagation morphology of the explosive welding joint specimen that were conducted thermal cycling for different upper limit temperatures and different cycle time.Experimental results indicated that the cyclic thermal stress and oxidation corrosion was the major factors for fatigue damage behavior of explosive welding joints, where the oxidation corrosion of the interface has become more serious with the increasing the upper limit temperature or the number of cycles rising. Thermal fatigue cracks initiation was mainly beginning from the wavy interface between copper and stainless steel, the vortex-like cast microstructure formed by explosive welding can prevent the crack from propagating along the interface edge and change the direction of crack propagation.The initiation and expansionof thermal fatigue cracks were observed in the copper matrix.展开更多

In a cladding plate, it is for the first time to find that the form of interface presents regular distribution.(2) Although the interface has the features of melt, diffusion and pressure welding in the mean time, the seam and 'hole' brought by the melt weaken the bonding strength of interface greatly, and the effect of melt on interface must be eliminated in explosive welding, so explosive welding is not a melt weld. The diffusion welding is a kind of form of pressure welding, and the diffusion is not the reason of the bonding of interface but the result of interface high pressure. So the diffusion welding cannot also explain the bonding mechanism of it. The experiment and theory make clear that explosive welding is a special pressure one.(3) To get good interface of no melt, explosive charge must be selected on the low limit of welding windows. In explosive welding, the drive plate should be treated as the viscous and plastoelastic body, not incompressible fluid. The bending moment under the explosive welding loading must be greater than that under dynamic limit of drive plate. According to the condition, the lower limit of explosive welding is obtained. It is about 20% less than that obtained by tradition calculation, and suitable for engineering application.(4) It is for the first time to test and study on soil anvil characteristics and change regularity under explosive welding impact loading. Through soil anvil parameter optimization analysis, it is the best for explosive welding with sandy soil of water content 17.00% and density 1.74q/cm3.展开更多

The experimental results demonstrate that the alternate distribution of interfacial collision and vortex of flyer layer forms in the interface a few of solidification structure. TEM confirms that the interfacial interlayer contains obvious lattice distortion structure and intermetallic compounds. It interprets the explosive welding as the interfacial deformation and thermal diffusion process between dissimilar metals. The interfacial shear strength is very close to the Cu matrix strength, which is determined by the mixture of the mechanical bonding and metallurgical bonding. Several cracks exist on the shear fracture owing to the intermetallic compound in the interfacial solidifi cation structure and also the probable welding inclusion.展开更多

Then, a 3D finite element model was established for systematic simulations in the parameter determination. The results show that the transition-layer approach, the coaxial initial assembly of tubes with the top-center-point the detonation, and the systematic study by numerical modeling are the key technologies to make the explosive welding of LF6 aluminum alloy and 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel tubes feasible. Numerical simulation shows that radial contraction and slope collision through continuous local plastic deformation are necessary for the good bonding of tubes. Stand-off distances between tubes (D1 and D2) and explosives amount (R) have effect on the plastic deformation, moving velocity, and bonding of tubes. D1 of 1 mm, D2 of 2 mm, and R of 2/3 are suitable for the explosive welding of LF6-L2-1Cr18Ni9Ti three-layer tubes. The plastic strain and moving velocity of the flyer tubes in-crease with the increase of stand-off distance. More explosives (R2/3) result in the asymmetrical distribution of plastic strain and non-bonding at the end of detonation on the tubes.展开更多

According to the geometric similarity, the atomic concentration distribution at any time in explosive welding can be calculated. NisoTis0- Cu explosive welding and scanning electron microscope experiments are done to verify the results. The simulation results and the experimental results are in good agreement.展开更多

It is found that the welding interfaces are wavy due to the wavy explosive loading. There are three kinds of bonding interfaces i. e. big wave, small wave and micro wave. There are a few seam defects and all elements contents are less than both of the base and .flyer plate in the transition zone of big wavy interface. Moreover, some "holes" result in the lowest bonding strength of big wavy interface nearby the interface in the base plate. All elements contents of the small wavy interface are between two metals, and there are few seam and hole defects, so it is the higher for the bonding strength of small wavy interface. There is no transition zone and defects in the micro wavy interface, so the interface is the best. To gain the high quality small and micro wavy bonding interface the explosive charge should be controlled.展开更多

Based on a new established model, it was deduced that the evolution frequencies of the instability were constrained in a limited range. Then experiments of identical metal EXW were performed and welding interfaces were characterized for examining the final morphology. By calculating the fractal dimensions and multifractal spectra of welding interface, the fractal characteristics of interface were revealed and a quantitative description was achieved for EXW interface structure. Thus, the formation, evolution and final morphology of wavy interface were systemically researched.展开更多

The width of the detonation reaction zone is from 0. 1 to 1 mm approximately, and it about equals the wavelength of interfacial wave in explosive welding. Both of them increase with the increasing of the thickness and detonation velocity of the explosive. The pressure of the detonation reaction zone is also wavy. The amplitude of the interfacial wave is decided by the detonation loading and the rate of the strength of the base and drive plate materials, and the wavelength is equal to the width of detonation reaction zone. So, a new impaction mechanism of pressure and inlaying due to wavy loading is put forward.展开更多

Based on the presented model, the bonding mechanism is simulated and analyzed, different detonation modes are also comparatively studied to indicate the driving force spread in few microseconds. The results show that the three layer plates bond together after many times of impact between the flyers and the base driven by detonation wave, which is damping rapidly at each impact with wavelength decreasing. The pressure at the detonation point is minimal, which induces non-bonding of the plates here. Detonation wave propagates in concentric circle both under side-midpoint detonation mode and under center-point detonation mode, but the movement of the flyer is different, which makes non-bonding easily occur at the end of detonation under side-midpoint detonation and at the center of the plate under center-point detonation.展开更多

The optimal welding interface can be obtained with the least explosive charge by theoretical analysis and interface test. The bonding energy can be acknowledged as the "action" in explosive welding. To minimize the bonding energy, these rules must be followed such as the lower limit of explosive charge, the upper limit of span and the explosive of critical explosion velocity. The principle of least-action is achieved in the course of explosive welding, and the interface will be optimum.展开更多

文摘By considering the joint effects of the Kelvin-Helmholtz(KH) and Rayleigh-Taylor(RT) instabilities, this paper presents an interpretation of the wavy patterns that occur in explosive welding. It is assumed that the elasticity of the material at the interface effectively determines the wavelength, because explosive welding is basically a solid-state welding process. To this end, an analytical model of elastic hydrodynamic instabilities is proposed, and the most unstable mode is selected in the solid phase. Similar approaches have been widely used to study the interfacial behavior of solid metals in high-energy-density physics. By comparing the experimental and theoretical results, it is concluded that thermal softening,which significantly reduces the shear modulus, is necessary and sufficient for successful welding. The thermal softening is verified by theoretical analysis of the increase in temperature due to the impacting and sliding of the flyer and base plates, and some experimental observations are qualitatively validated.In summary, the combined effect of the KH and RT instabilities in solids determines the wavy morphology, and our theoretical results are in good qualitative agreement with experimental and numerical observations.

文摘Some of the main progress on the investigation of the mechanism of the wave formation in explosive welding at the Institute of Mechanics is summarized and otters'previous works are re- viewed.Our systematic experiments and analysis do not substantiate the theory of wave formation based on Karman vortex-street analogy or Helmholtz instability.On the contrary,they show that materi- al strength insensitive to strain rate plays an important role.A simple hydro-plastic model is presented to explain the main features regarding the interracial wave formation and to estimate the magnitude of wave length.The result is in broad agreement with experiment.
文摘In order to investigate the bonding behavior and mechanism of the interface prepared by explosive welding, the bonding interfaces of 0 Crl 8Ni9/16MnR were observed and analyzed by means of optical microscope (OM) , scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis ( EPMA ). It is found that the welding interfaces are wavy due to the wavy explosive loading. There are three kinds of bonding interfaces i. e. big wave, small wave and micro wave. There are a few seam defects and all elements contents are less than both of the base and .flyer plate in the transition zone of big wavy interface. Moreover, some "holes" result in the lowest bonding strength of big wavy interface nearby the interface in the base plate. All elements contents of the small wavy interface are between two metals, and there are few seam and hole defects, so it is the higher for the bonding strength of small wavy interface. There is no transition zone and defects in the micro wavy interface, so the interface is the best. To gain the high quality small and micro wavy bonding interface the explosive charge should be controlled.

文摘The wavy interface for similar or the same metal explosive welding(EXW) and the universal mechanism of wavy interface formation in EXW were studied in this work. Based on a new established model, it was deduced that the evolution frequencies of the instability were constrained in a limited range. Then experiments of identical metal EXW were performed and welding interfaces were characterized for examining the final morphology. By calculating the fractal dimensions and multifractal spectra of welding interface, the fractal characteristics of interface were revealed and a quantitative description was achieved for EXW interface structure. Thus, the formation, evolution and final morphology of wavy interface were systemically researched.
文摘The characteristics of both the detonation and explosive loading are studied comparatively. The width of the detonation reaction zone is from 0. 1 to 1 mm approximately, and it about equals the wavelength of interfacial wave in explosive welding. Both of them increase with the increasing of the thickness and detonation velocity of the explosive. The pressure of the detonation reaction zone is also wavy. The amplitude of the interfacial wave is decided by the detonation loading and the rate of the strength of the base and drive plate materials, and the wavelength is equal to the width of detonation reaction zone. So, a new impaction mechanism of pressure and inlaying due to wavy loading is put forward.

文摘A 3D t'mite element model of the explosive welding process of three-layer plates with materials of steel-copper-copper is es- tablished. Based on the presented model, the bonding mechanism is simulated and analyzed, different detonation modes are also comparatively studied to indicate the driving force spread in few microseconds. The results show that the three layer plates bond together after many times of impact between the flyers and the base driven by detonation wave, which is damping rapidly at each impact with wavelength decreasing. The pressure at the detonation point is minimal, which induces non-bonding of the plates here. Detonation wave propagates in concentric circle both under side-midpoint detonation mode and under center-point detonation mode, but the movement of the flyer is different, which makes non-bonding easily occur at the end of detonation under side-midpoint detonation and at the center of the plate under center-point detonation.

文摘In nature, many physical phenomena follow the least-action principle, which is also abided by the course of explosive welding of stainless steel/steel. The optimal welding interface can be obtained with the least explosive charge by theoretical analysis and interface test. The bonding energy can be acknowledged as the "action" in explosive welding. To minimize the bonding energy, these rules must be followed such as the lower limit of explosive charge, the upper limit of span and the explosive of critical explosion velocity. The principle of least-action is achieved in the course of explosive welding, and the interface will be optimum.
