Technical data:

Base metal:

Base Metal is the metal, which is predominating in composite metal. This metal is under the Cladding Metal during the explosion welding process. Typical Base Metals are Steel, Stainless Steel, Nickel and Copper. Other Base Metals are used upon the need.

Cladding Metal

Cladding Metal is usually thinner metal layer, creating specific properties to the composite.

Typical Cladding Metals are Copper, Brass, Titan, Aluminum, Niobin and Tantal.

Other Cladding Metals are available for special applications

Metal thickness

Maximum and minimum thicknesses of the Base and Cladding Metals depend on the area of the plates.

Typical ranges for some combination are introduces in the following table:

Base Metal Cladding Metal Thickness of Base Metal (mm) Thickness of Cladding Metal (mm)
Steel Copper 1 - 16 1 - 30
Steel Brass 1 - 10 1 - 10
Steel Titanium > 4 1 - 8
Steel Aluminum > 19 2 - 4
Steel Niobin, Tantal > 4 1 - 5
Copper Titanium 1 - 16 0.5 - 4.0
Copper Aluminum 1 - 16 1 - 5

Explosion Impulse Forming

Explosion Impulse Forming method is used to press forms and shapes, which are conventionally unreachable or difficult to reach.

Typically the shapes are cavities or special wide, precise shapes, like parabolic shapes.

Inspection and testing

All welded material is tested using most modern methods, including ultrasonic and x-ray methods.

The testing procedures meets the strictest requirements and ensure faultless result and highest quality.

Test certificates included in the delivery.
