Abstract

In this study, the effect of varied loading ratio (mass of the explosive/mass of flyer plate) on the nature of interface, temperature and pressure developed in aluminum-steel explosive cladding is presented. Increase in the loading ratio, R, enhances the pressure developed, kinetic energy utilization and deformation work performed. Interfacial microstructures exhibit the formation of molten layer at few spots, owing to the increase in temperature beyond the melting point of parent alloy. The increase in temperature and the quantum of pressure developed were determined by numerical simulation performed in Ansys AUTODYN by employing smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The positioning of the experimental conditions on the weldability window is presented as well.

摘要

本文研究了变化载荷比(炸药质量/翼板质量)对铝钢爆炸焊接界面的性质、 温度和压力的影响. 增加载荷比 R 会增大爆炸撞击点的压力、 动能的利用和变形功. 当温度升高到超过母体金属的熔点时, 在界面微结构中的一些点形成熔融层. 在 Ansys AUTODYN 中运用光滑质点流体动力学(SPH)法对温度和压力的增加进行数值模拟, 确定爆炸异种金属焊接的工艺条件.
