Abstract
Explosive cladding is a solid state process in which joining of dissimilar metals is accomplished by the acceleration of one of the components at extremely high velocity by employing chemical explosives. This study focuses on developing a model to predict the heat transfer during cladding and to determine the characteristics of the shock compressed gas developed at the standoff distance during cladding. The influence of interlayer on the amount of heat transferred is also investigated. It is concluded that the amount of heat transferred and the kinetic energy lost during collision at the interface determine the morphology of the interface.
