Abstract

Explosive welding is a solid-state process in which dissimilar (sometimes similar) materials are bond together via the detonation of an explosive. The energy from explosion is used to “cold” weld a flyer plate to base plate. The unique feature of this process about welding dissimilar very large parts that cannot be weld with conventional fusion welding processes in a single operation with admissible quality makes it indispensible in modern production industry. This paper reviews the technological developments in explosive welding and gives the possible future implementation of this process.

Metallerin Patlayıcı Yardımı İle Kaynatılması

Abstract

Patlayıcı yardımı ile kaynak, bir patlayıcının patlamasıyla farklı malzemelerin (bazen aynı malzemelerin) birleştirilmesinde kullanılan bir katı hal prosesidir. Patlama neticesinde açığa çıkan enerji, uçucu plakanın ana plakaya “soğuk” kaynatılmasında kullanılır. Geleneksel kaynak yöntemleri ile birleştirilmeleri mümkün olmayan çok büyük parçaların tek seferde ve kabul edilebilir kalitede kaynatılması bu teknolojiyi modern üretim yöntemleri arasında vazgeçilmez kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada patlayıcı yardımı ile kaynak teknolojisindeki teknolojik gelişmeler açıklanacak ve muhtemel ileriki uygulamalardan bahsedilecektir.

Keywords
