Abstract

Explosive cladding of Al 5052-Al 1100 plate, interfaced with a stainless steel wire mesh interlayer, is attempted. Loading ratio and standoff distance were varied. An increase in loading ratio (R) and standoff distance (S) enhances the plate velocity (Vp), dynamic bend angle (β) and pressure developed (P). The interface morphology of the explosive clads confirms strong metallurgical bond between the wire mesh and aluminum plates. Further, a smooth transition from straight to undulating interlayered topography is witnessed. The introduction of a wire mesh, as interlayer, leads to an improvement in mechanical strength with a slender reduction in overall corrosion resistance of the “explosive clads”.

摘要

尝试将不锈钢丝网夹层与Al 5052-Al 1100 板的爆炸包层接合,并优化其加载比和间隔距离等 参数。加载比(R)和间隔距离(S)的增加提高了板速度(Vp ),动态弯曲角(β)和产生的压力(P)。 爆炸包层的界面形态证实了金属丝网和铝板之间的强烈冶金结合。此外,实现了从直的到波状层间形 貌的平滑过渡。将金属丝网作为夹层,提高了机械强度,但稍微降低了“爆炸包层”的整体耐腐蚀性。
