Explosive clad plate is a clad/bond/composite material that combines two or more different metal plates firmly together through explosive welding technology. This article will analyze and discuss the main factors and effects which will affect the explosive clad plates.

1.Affecting Factors of Explosive Clad Plates

1. 1 Explosion Parameters

Explosion parameters such as explosion energy, explosion distance, and explosion velocity can affect the effect of explosion shock waves and the formation of clad interfaces.

1.2 Properties of Metal Plates

There are some differences in the properties of different metals, which can affect the deformation, melting and bonding of metal plates during explosive welding.

1.3 Clad Interface Status

Factors such as the cleanliness, roughness, and degree of oxidation of the clad interface can affect the bonding strength and stability of the clad interface.

1.4 Explosive Environment

Factors such as temperature, humidity, gas composition can affect the explosion process and the formation of clad interfaces.

2.Function of Explosive Clad Plates

2.1 Good Performance

Explosive clad plates will not cause delamination or cracking in subsequent production,and have a higher bonding strength and tensile strength.

2.2 Diverse Properties

The explosive clad method can produce various metal clad plates,such as Titanium/Steel,Nickel/Steel,Zirconium/Steel,Aluminum/Steel,Stainless Steel/steel,etc., which can fully utilize the performance of different metal materials.

2.3 Wide Application

Explosive clad plates are now widely used in Petrochemical, Metallurgy, Salt & Alkali Production, Hydraulic Industry, and Nuclear Power.

In conclusion, explosive clad plates have become a significant new type of metal clad material for metal fabricators.
