- Effect of explosive ratio on explosive welding quality of copper to aluminiumPublication . Loureiro, A.; Mendes, R.; Ribeiro, J. B.; Leal, R. M.The goal of this research is to study the influence of the ratio of an explosive composed of 80% ANFO and 20% matrix on the quality of dissimilar explosive welds of Cu-DHP copper to aluminium alloy 5083-H11, in flat configuration. It is analysed the influence of four explosive ratios (1.4, 1.8, 2.3 and 2.6) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of welds. It was observed that the increase in the explosive ratio gives rise to an increase of the collision point velocity (Vc) and the impact velocity (Vp) and consequently reduces the thickness of the flying plate after welding as well as produces wavy interfaces of greater amplitude. Microstructural analysis showed the formation of hard and brittle intermetallic compounds in the interface region, more obvious in welds made with higher ratio of explosive.
- Effect of the flyer material on the interface phenomena in aluminium and copper explosive weldsPublication . Carvalho, G.H.S.F.L.; Mendes, R.; Leal, R. M.; Galvão, I.; Loureiro, A.The effect of physical and mechanical properties of three different flyers on the interface phenomena of partially overlapped explosive welds, using the same base plate material, was studied. Flyers of Copper Cu-DHP and aluminium alloy 6082 (tempers T6 and O) were welded to AA6082-T6 base plates. The morphology of the weld interface is strongly influenced by the physical and mechanical properties of the flyer. In the interface of the aluminiumwelds, the use of a flyer of lower hardness and yield strength than the base plate results in asymmetrical waves, with bigger amplitude and smaller wavelength than the weld series of similar temper, and higher mechanical properties. The copper-aluminium welds presented flat interfaces, mainly because of the significant differences inmelting temperature and density between the copper flyer and the aluminiumbase plate. Considering these results and analysing several dissimilar welds carried out by other authors itwas found thatwhen the product of density and melting temperature ratios between the flyer and the base plate exceeds a certain value, there is no formation of waves at the interface of the metals. Furthermore, for the Cu-Al welds, the CuAl2 (θ) intermetallic phase was formed on the bond zone.
- Influence of base material properties on copper and aluminium–copper explosive weldsPublication . Carvalho, G. H. S. F. L.; Galvão, I.; Mendes, R.; Leal, Rui; Loureiro, A.The influence of base material properties on the interfacial phenomena in copper and aluminium–copper explosive welds was studied. Two explosive mixtures with different detonation velocities were tested. Sound aluminium–copper joints with effective bonding were achieved by using an explosive mixture with a lower detonation velocity. High energy explosives led to extensive interfacial melting, preventing the production of consistent dissimilar welds. Unlike to the similar copper joints, the aluminium–copper welds presented very asymmetrical interfacial waves, rich in intermetallic phases and displaying a curled morphology. The interaction of the materials in dissimilar welding was found to be completely different depending on the positioning of each alloy in the joint, i.e. positioned as the flyer or as the baseplate.
- Weldability of aluminium-copper in explosive weldingPublication . Carvalho, G. H. S. F. L.; Galvão, I.; Mendes, R.; Loureiro, A.; Leal, RuiA large number of aluminium-copper explosive welds were produced under different welding conditions to perform a broad analysis of the weldability of this combination. The influence of the explosive mixture and the relative positioning of the plates on the welding results were analysed. When the aluminium alloy is positioned as the flyer plate, continuous interfacial melting occurred under the low values of energy lost by the collision, and collision point velocity. This proved that the weldability of the aluminium-copper combination is higher when the copper is positioned as the flyer. A mismatch between the experimental results and the existing theories that define the requirements for achieving consistent welds was noticed. Especially for welds produced using the aluminium alloy as the flyer, the experiments proved to be more restrictive than the theories. These theories, despite being widely applied in dissimilar welding literature, present several limitations concerning aluminium-copper welding. New approaches considering the formation of intermetallic phases at the interface, the properties of both welded metals, and/or the difference in their properties should be developed
