Deformation and thermodynamic processes in explosion cladding of cylindrical components with titanium

Abstract

The structural special features of the formation of titanium in high-speed compression of a titanium pipe are investigated. The thermodynamic conditions of explosion welding of titanium are studied. It is shown that for high-quality cladding of cylindrical components with titanium it is necessary to prevent localization of deformation as a result of heating of the surface and transfer of titanium to the plastic state when welding is carried out in shielding gases. Long copper+titanium current conductors with the length exceeding 30 diameters were produced.
