ABSTRACT
This paper presents the numerical study on the application of explosive welding technique to the field of the urgent repair of the gas and water pipe networks. The essential parameters related to the explosive welding are scrutinized from the point of view of the minimizing the damage to the steel pipe after welded explosively with a flyer plate. In this study the numerical calculations are conducted to analyze the flying shape of the flyer plate and the deformation process of the steel pipe under explosive loading.
