Abstract

In this paper, Gr5 alloy and 304 stainless steel were joined by explosive welding. In order to improve the bond strength of the clad plates, a thin (2 mm) titanium sheet was introduced as an interlayer between Gr5 and SS 304. Accordingly, microstructure, hardness, tensile-shearing, and bending tests were evaluated in detail. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the interface between Gr5 alloys and the interlayer shows a slightly wavy morphology. The interface between the interlayer and SS304 shows a wavy structure. No distinctive separation, crack, or tear were observed in both interfaces. Line scan results indicate that there is no diffusion area at both bonding interfaces. Also, tensile-shearing and bending tests results showed that the bonding is acceptable.
