Features: Metal explosive welding is an interdisciplinary field that lies between metal physics, explosive physics, and welding technology. Explosive welding is a highly practical and advanced high-tech technology that uses explosives as an energy source for welding metals together and producing metal composite materials. Its major feature is the ability to weld together identical, especially different, and arbitrary metal combinations quickly, simply, and firmly in an instant. Its major application is the production of large-area, various combinations, shapes, sizes, and purposes of bimetallic and multimetallic composite materials. This technology is also an advanced surface engineering technology, and these materials are a type of widely used surface engineering materials. Based on the perspective of metal physics, and grounded in practice, research, and extensive domestic and international materials, this book comprehensively and systematically discusses the technology and principles of explosive welding, establishing a complete theoretical framework of metal physics for explosive welding. It also provides a wealth of information on the production technology, microstructure and properties, and applications of metal explosive composite materials. The book is richly illustrated, easy to understand, and integrates theory and practice, research and application, as well as practicality. It serves as a reference for researchers and engineering professionals, entrepreneurs, workers, and university teachers and students working in fields such as explosive processing, explosive welding, metal composite materials, surface engineering technology, explosives and explosive physics, chemical engineering, material protection, construction machinery, machine manufacturing, energy technology, shipbuilding and marine engineering, transportation, metallurgical and construction, electrical and electronic engineering, instruments and household appliances, pesticides and fertilizers, food and light industry, environmental protection, superconducting materials, cryogenic components, marine engineering, aerospace, and nuclear energy. The book discusses the technology and principles of explosive welding, establishing a complete theoretical framework of metal physics for explosive welding, and providing extensive information on the production technology, microstructure and properties, and applications of metal explosive composite materials.
