Abstract
The essence, peculiarities and application fields of a new technology of explosion treatment of welded joints used to improve reliability and extend life of metal structures are outlined. Physical mechanism of the process and methods used for calculation of parameters of explosion loading of different-geometry weldments are described. Explosion treatment is shown to have a favourable effect on performance of welded structures and characterized by high productivity and cost effectiveness.
Keywords: welded joint, explosion treatment, explosive, reliability, corrosion resistance, fatigue, embrittlement, ecology of explosion
