Quasi-wave shape of an interface upon explosion welding (copper–tantalum, copper–titanium)

Аннотация

The interface relief of copper–titanium compounds and its evolution upon the intensification of explosion welding are investigated. Typical structures are revealed: splashes, waves consisting of ledges, interrupted waves, and transient states generated by interrupted waves combined into bands. The effect the mutual solubility of the initial elements has on the formation of a welded joint’s structure is determined. Intermetallic compounds are detected both on ledge surfaces and inside areas of local melting.
