Abstract
As proved by investigations, to produce a sound joint between steel and titanium on large-sized blanks by explosion welding, it is necessary to perform this process in a shielding gas atmosphere. The use of the trap method made it possible to establish that, when performing explosion welding in air, burning of particles and surface of titanium in the shock-compressed gas in the welding gap ahead of the contact point causes preferential heating of the titanium surface, which is attributable to low thermal conductivity of titanium. This leads to non-uniform variations in hardness of the materials welded ahead of the contact point, as well as to a change of the high-velocity collision mechanism from the solid-solid state to the soft-solid one. Adding an inert gas into the welding gap prevents burning of titanium and provides quality welding on unlimited surfaces. Properties of the produced steel-titanium bimetal in argon atmosphere are given.
