Explosive cladding, Weldability Window, MicrostructureAbstract
This study analytically estimated the welding domain for explosive cladding of aluminium-magnesium and titanium-steel combinations. Welding window, an analytical estimation, can ascertain whether the interface is wave-like or straight. The welding window’s lower, upper, left, and right boundaries were constructed using empirical relations suggested by peer researchers. The soundness of the dissimilar clad is primarily positioned near the lower boundary of the welding window. The ideal process parametric condition for an undulating interface is also laid out.
