Explosive Welding

<p>This reference explores explosion welding a high intensity transient impact that achieves metal compounds not obtainable otherwise. Electron microscopy images cover the structure of numerous welded joints including titanium-orthorhombic titanium aluminide copper-tantalum aluminum-tantalum iron-silver steel-steel and copper-titanium. These weldable pairs have different solubility than their initial elements. The authors present various processes and structures including granulating fragmentation cusps splashes and quasi-wave interface. Specific risk zones for chemical and petrochemical (coke chamber) reactors are probed and suggestions offered. </p><p>Key Features: </p><ul> <li>Offers new theories about explosion welding processes and structures</li> <li>Investigates dozens of weldable pairs with differing solubility from initial elements</li> <li>Studies both hetero- and homogeneous pairs</li> <li>Explores welded joints with flat wavy and quasi-wavy separation boundaries</li> <li>Observes irregularities of the separation surface relief observing asperities and splashes and their transformation under intensified welding modes</li> <li>Unveils a new type of fragmentation under explosion welding</li> </ul><p>Explosive Welding: Processes and Structures is a valuable resource for a wide range of experts involved in explosion welding engineers as well as graduate and postgraduate students.</p>
