This project was conducted to further develop the explosive cladding process and to use this process by joining pipes/tubes of metals that cannot be welded together by conventional methods. The project was diverted from the original plan to utilize a 'scarf-joint' transition joint of identical size pipes/tubes to development of a method of penetrating watertight bulkheads or decks with a pipe/tube having widely different properties. The emphasis was on penetrating aluminium bulkheads/decks with stainless steel pipes of sizes from 3/4 in. to 6 in. for Surface Effect Ship application. (Kursetz)
