Numerical Study on the Influence of Different Anvils on Explosive Welding

Article Preview

Abstract:

Explosive welding is an efficient method for metals welding. However, in explosive welding, the shock wave generated by the explosion can not only damage the sensitive structure in the area of the process, but also can actually destroy a welded joint immediately after its creation. By placing an additional structure (anvil) can reduce the influence of shock waves. The influence of different anvil on the explosive welding of aluminum and magnesium plates has been investigated by using AUTODYN Software in this paper. The results show that the steel anvil is much more appropriate than sand and magnesium.
