ABSTRACT
Joining of metals in explosive welding takes place as a result of their plastic deformation during a high speed collision and is usually accompanied by typical formation of waves at the interface. In welding aluminium, the weld boundary can also be straight if the speed of the contact point is νc is ≤ 1900 m/s. These welding conditions make it possible to prevent melting of the metal at the interface and increase at the same time its corrosion resistance. In this article, the effect of the dynamic collision angle on the special features of plastic flow of the metal in the vicinity of the contact boundary in welding sheets of AS5 aluminium is described.
