THE possibility of explosive cladding was first recognised in 1957, when it was noted in explosive forming that if a metal die was employed and an excessive charge was used then the metal sheet which was being formed became welded to the die. Since that time numerous papers have been published, for instance Davenport and Duvall (Ref. 1), Pearson (Ref. 2), Holtzman and Ruderhausen (Ref. 3), Boes (Ref. 4), and Bahrani and Crossland (Ref. 5) to mention but a few. All the early work was devoted to the application of cladding, and it is only during the last two or three years that the applicability of the process to tube welding, lap welding, welding of tees has been mentioned. At the present time the main potential fields of application are to the cladding of dissimilar metals over large areas and the welding of tubes to tube plates.
