Explosion welding

Type of welding that makes use of chemical explosives

Explosion welding (EXW) is a solid state (solid-phase) process where welding is accomplished by accelerating one of the components at extremely high velocity through the use of chemical explosives. This process is often used to clad carbon steel or aluminium plate with a thin layer of a harder or more corrosion-resistant material. Due to the nature of this process, producible geometries are very limited. Typical geometries produced include plates, tubing and tube sheets.
