  • Solid state welds with reduced intermetallic formation (Hishashi

et al, 2009; Kore et al, 2009) or very localized melting at the

interface in some cases (Aizawa et al, 2004; Gobel et al, 2010, Zhang

et al, 2010). Welded region stronger than parent material, due

to grain refinement and hardness increase (Zhang et al, 2010), various theories for the mechanism for impact welding

Issues with Explosives

  • Difficulty in handling
  • Increasingly stringent regulations
  • Specific training needed
  • Needs big spaces for safe operation
  • Critical volume: minimum physical size, a charge of a

specific explosive should have to sustain its own detonation wave

  • Mostly for large scale operations
  • Tools must be very tough. Their life has been

unpredictable

Issues with Magnetic Pulse Technology

  • Longevity of electromagnetic actuators at high pressure, temperature and

cycle time

  • Frequent inspection for cracks and voids needed to insure efficiency of the

actuators

  • Fabrication of coils is generally an expensive process
  • Requires an electrically conductive flyer material (unless a ‘driver’ is used)

Vaporizing Foil Welding (VFW): Technique

  • What happens when a high current is passed

through a thin conductor?

What happens?

  • When energy deposition rate is very high then a thin

conductor can be heated much above its sublimation energy due to inertial and magnetic forces

  • When these inertial forces let go, this stored energy

converts to kinetic energy of the vaporized metal and releases as a pressure pulse

Vaporizing Foil Driven Welding

  • No welding in the area just above the

former position of foil-zero impact angle

  • Peel test needs yields a varied spectrum of

strength values

compatible with both sides and acts as a diffusion barrier

  • Single shot with 7.2

VFW: Summary

  • Developed at OSU. A variation of explosion welding - in safe laboratory
  • environment. Unlike MPW, does not require an electrically conductive

flyer material

  • Dissimilar materials welded with varying strength and interface structure
  • Strong welds associated with wavy interfaces free of intermetallics

whereas weaker welds were riddled with defects

  • Peel test is more discriminating in terms of strength of the welds
  • Velocities upto 560 m/s observed using PDV
  • Can be used for quick determination of welding windows for any weldable

couple

  • Welds created over lengths of upto 50 mm
