New computational and experimental methods for studying the thermal processes occurring during metal explosive welding are developed based on the use of natural and local thermocouples and allowing one to reliably construct temperature fields in the heat-affected zone and thermal welding cycles. The basic regularities of thermal processes in the heat-affected zone during explosive welding are revealed. It is theoretically shown and experimentally confirmed that, in this zone, the heat released during detonation of the explosive can significantly increase the temperature of the contacting metal layers and lead to melting of the latter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
