Application prospect
Being as a new technology in the welding field, the explosive welding technology shows marked advantage over welding technology known mow. It has tested that we can achieve metal welding under the normal temperature with this technology, as long as the metal material has certain impact toughness. They would be also welded together by heat-explosive welding technology even if the impact toughness less than we expected. The technology of explosive welding developed in recent years for ceramic powder-steel clad materials extends further its application field. Being discovered the technology of explosive welding with good developed prospects, it make welding easily either in kinds, specifications, quantity, quality, or energy, cost and benefit. We may say now, various kinds of metal clad materials with cheap and excellent performance would be become a bright spot in the industry demanded of metal materials, especially in the field that make use of rare and precious metal.
It can be predicted that it would went short of energy along with the development of the industry produce and technological progress. As the energy with cheap in price and huge in production for explosive welding, the explosive will not only bring considerable economic efficiency in the welding field but also can be renewable.
Insomuch as speediness development of explosive welding technology and widespread application of metal clad material, they will play an important role in the field of metal material , welding technology, high-energy process technology as well as developments of the other high-tech and basic industries in world.
Having low price and excellent performance, the metal clad material, which is applied to industrial, military, aviation and other realms, produced by explosive welding is bringing maximum the advantage of various metal materials known now into play. It have much advantage by using the explosive welding metal clad material in industrial production, first one is not only supplying a gap of performance of single metal materials, but also saved precious rare metals; the other one is that the manufacturing cost can be reduced to 1/2-2/3, thus that the industrial products can be enhanced competition in the markets. In the field which the functional material was demanded, metal clad materials play an irreplaceable role especially.
