Explosion-Bonded clad plates are created by applying explosion welding (aka blast welding) technology to bond one or both surfaces of carbon steel or low alloy steel plates with corrosion-resistant stainless steel or non-ferrous metals. This process imparts the mechanical properties of carbon steel or low alloy steel, while also providing the corrosion resistance of stainless steel or non-ferrous metals. It is a cost-effective, high-performance new engineering material.

The company uses explosive cladding technology to mass-produce various types of metal clad plates, including stainless clad steel, nickel-based alloy clad steel, titanium clad steel, copper clad steel, zirconium clad steel, and tantalum clad steel. All mechanical properties and physical-chemical performance indicators fully comply with current national standards and international advanced standards, with key performance indicators (such as shear strength and bonding rate) being industry-leading.

Explosion welding (Blast welding) is a technique that uses a high-energy shock wave generated by a detonation to bond two metal surfaces together in an extremely short time. The selection and quantity of explosive used in explosion welding is a critical factor and depends on the properties of the materials involved. The goal is to ensure that the explosive energy is sufficient to create a strong, high-quality bond without damaging the materials

During explosion welding, detonation drives the cladding plate to collide with the base plate at high speed. This collision under extreme temperature and pressure enables atomic diffusion bonding and forms a continuous wavy interface. The high-velocity oblique impact creates a metal jet that removes surface impurities, achieving a clean interface and strong metallurgical bond between the two metals.

Compared with weld overlay, explosion welding simultaneously eliminates dilution-related strength loss and inconsistency in weld quality, delivering a uniform, high-integrity metallurgical bond across the entire clad surface.

The thickness design of the clad plate base material and cladding, material pairing, and specifications are flexible. They can be diversified according to different environmental requirements and can be produced in single specifications or in bulk.

01.Specifications and Dimensions:

In addition to standard sizes, customized production is available for specific specifications and shapes.


02.Material Pairing:

A combination of various materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals.


03.Thickness Design:

The base material to cladding thickness ratio typically exceeds 3:1.



- —  Performance Characteristics and Comparisons   

 

Using explosion welding technology, a metallurgical bond between the base metal and cladding metal is achieved, with an average shear strength at the bonding interface reaching 350 MPa, significantly exceeding the ASTM standard requirement (≥140 MPa).

01.Wavy Metallurgical Bonding

The explosion welding process creates a distinctive wavy bond line, ensuring strong metallurgical adhesion and long-lasting reliability.


02.Shear Strength Exceeding 300 MPa

Our clad plates achieve shear strength above 300 MPa, delivering high mechanical stability in demanding environments.


03.Capable of Welding Refractory Metals

Explosion welding enables the joining of refractory and dissimilar metals that are difficult to bond by conventional methods.

 

04.Excellent Workability

The bonded plates can be cut, bent, rolled, and formed with ease while maintaining full bonding integrity.


05.Suitable for Both Single and Mass Production with Short Lead Times

We support flexible manufacturing—whether custom one-off projects or bulk production—while ensuring short delivery schedules.
