Engineering review
We align the base and clad grades, thicknesses, dimensions, code requirements and intended fabrication.
Technology / Controlled energy
A fast event.
A deliberate process.
Explosion bonding joins dissimilar metals in a solid state. Our work is the engineering around that instant: surface preparation, geometry, energy control, recovery and proof.
01 / Manufacturing route
Six gates from incoming metal to release.
The exact route changes with the alloy pairing, plate area and purchaser specification. These are the controls common to every project.
Material release
Certificates, identity, temper and surface condition are checked before either plate enters production.
Surface and geometry
Contact faces are prepared and the stand-off geometry is set for the selected collision window.
Bonding operation
Controlled energy accelerates the flyer plate into the backing metal, forming a metallurgical interface.
Recovery and finishing
Edge trimming, flattening and any specified heat treatment are sequenced to protect dimensions and properties.
Verification and release
UT mapping, mechanical coupons, dimensions and records are consolidated into the final dossier.
02 / Interface
No bulk melting.
A high-velocity bond.
The collision removes surface films and brings clean metal surfaces together under pressure. The resulting interface geometry depends on material properties and the selected process window.
Process descriptions are general. Acceptance criteria are always taken from the applicable product standard and purchase specification.
