Abstract
A process for welding explosive-clad metal sheets together with one another and/or with metal pipes, connecting elements, or the like, includes producing at least one unjoined zone between the base metal and the cladding metal in a defined manner during an explosive cladding step, and thereafter welding in the region of at least one of unjoined zones.
Claims34
In a process for joining an explosive-clad metal sheet composed of a base metal layer and a cladding metal layer to another element by welding, the improvement comprising carrying out explosive cladding to form said explosive-clad metal sheet in such a way that facing sections of said base metal layer and said cladding metal layer are unbonded in those portions of the explosive-clad metal sheet which will be welded to said element, and thereafter joining said element to the cladding metal layer of said explosive-clad metal sheet by welding only to portions of the cladding metal layer of said explosive-clad metal sheet in which said base metal layer and said cladding metal layer are unbonded.
