Do you know the advantages and disadvantages of explosion welding?

Apr 29, 2022

Compared to conventional welding methods, explosion welding has the following advantages.

1. strong bonding, can achieve the same or dissimilar metal material connection, especially the ordinary welding methods can not be welded between different metals welding.

2. can be welded in a very wide range of sizes (a one-time welding area of 13 to 28 square meters)

3. Can be double, triple, or even multi-layer welding, and the same can be welded between two, three, or even multiple materials.

4. It can carry out welding between different metals that cannot be welded by ordinary welding methods.

5. The usual welding methods used on base metal are inevitably affected by heat, while the heat impact of the explosion welding to the area is very small.

6. The process is very simple, with no complex equipment, has very low investment, and is easy to apply features.

7. Does not require filler metal, can save the cost of precious metals.

8. Explosion welding joint presents a wavy shape, which is the mark of the reaction welding firmness.

However, it also has its shortcomings.

1. The welded metal material must have sufficient toughness and impact resistance in order to be able to resist the explosion generated by the violent impact collision.

2. Because it is based on the role of the explosion when the metal produces a jet, resulting in this welding method being only applicable to flat or column surface welding, complex structures are not suitable.

3. Because of the use of explosives as a source of energy, the risk factor is quite high.

4. Again, it requires a specific space for operation, such as open-air or pits, and the noise and airwaves generated have an impact on the surrounding environment.
