Process
The cladding plate collides progressively with the backer plate at a high
velocity .
And removes the contaminating surface films like oxides and absorbed
gases in the form of a fine jet.
At the collision front thereby bringing together two virgin metal surfaces to
form a metallurgical bond by electron sharing.

Explosive Cladding
Vortex formation
Vortex formation
Cladding process-Vortex formation
The joint is formed ,according to the movement
of Detonation shock wave of the explosive
Due to the unstable plastic flow of metal in the
surroundings of the point of incipient flow a wavy
interface is formed –Vortex-
The kinetic energy of the flyer plate is
transformed into heat
This energy raises the temp. in the vortex over
the melting point of the both metals,
Cladding process-Vortex formation
By this the melt off of the both metal is formed in
the vortex.
Due to the Stirring ,diffusing & solving of solid
fragments ,alloying of both liquid melts occur.
Homogenization of melt also take place
simultaneously .
The solidification of melt takes place , due to the
high cooling capabilities of the surroundings.
