Great question! Our direct customers are fabricators, ship builders, smelters. So for example, we would send a clad plate to a fabricator who then constructs those plates in to a pressure vessel or column.

Most likely military…

Yes - indeed. Grinding both plates is part of our process. This helps remove any debris or oxides from the surface, which assists with the weld.

I mean if you put an aluminum core that 90% that is cooled through a super cooling system would hold up right

Hi Andy! Thank you for your interest. Our proprietary explosion welding process, DetaClad™, bonds two dissimilar metals from a high energy jet formed by the collision point as seen from minute 2:14 to 2:40. To learn more, visit our website www.nobelclad.com

lmao you actually believe in the big bang theory?

@gasbaroni How about we play a game: the first one of us to make 3 solid points about universal or planetary formation wins. I'll let you go first since the big bang theory is funny to you.

@@trials6502 I'm not the one who blindly accepts the big bang theory, the burden of proof is on you. How do you explain what came before the big bang? How did something come out of nothing? How did the laws of physics come into being? Not our subjective understanding on what they are, but they way they objectively operate on their own. There are no definite answers to these questions.

​@@gasbaroniStill nothing yet. Amazing. No one made mention of the big bang theory but you. A mess of assumptions and shifting. How did our planet form, or universe. Still got 3 chances.

Glad to know you learned something new! If you'd like to learn more visit our website: www.nobelclad.com

Hi Marton! Thanks for the interest. The carbon steel outer pipe can be welded or seamless. The inner cladder liner is welded. To learn more about DetaPipe™ view our product sheet here: www.nobelclad.com/resources/DetaPipe-Product-Sheet

Hi TacoDivision - It is critical to understand that there are quite a few operations that must happen from start to finish in the entire explosion welding process. Typically operators for the entire process are spread out between each of these individual operations. To answer your question, while explosion welding is recognized by various engineering codes and societies, and is typically regulated by code requirements, there are very few cases in which any explosion welding certification type documents for the employees would be required. There are several operations within the process such as traditional fusion welding, nondestructive, and destructive examinations which may require applicable certifications, however, the "explosion welders" usually only possess some type of internal qualification as opposed to a certification like what is typically seen in the traditional fusion welding world. In addition to that, there may be some other government regulations and certifications that they may be required to be in possession of. This may vary based on location.

Hi there - yes you can angle beam clad plates. Thank you for the question.

@@NobelClad can u provide some details . Ut check in normal probe As per SA578 (Ms to ss) clad plates find non - bond area but when try to find in piezoelectric 45° angel probe as per Sa577 couldn't showing any non-Bond . What did i wrong !!! Please help me

Hi @@bisaljana1351 -- Angle beam is not the proper way to look for disbonding. It is good for finding defects that are not parallel to the major surface like cracks or other mill processing defects. 578 calls out the use of either a single or dual element probe that is 1” to 1 1/8” in diameter with a nominal frequency of 2.25 MHz recommended.

Military,explosion welding was first noticed on warships in ww2.

@@brianbaker8287 to answer OP’s question, Clad is used in oil refineries among other industries where corrosion is prominent

Never asked that was Tom,but I'll play along ,Battlefield armaments-Tanks

Typically anywhere you have corrosive chemicals under high pressure. The backer plate is what takes most of the pressure while the cladder plate protects the backer from the whatever corrosive chemical is being worked with.

Here are some examples: Our DetaClad plates and tube sheets are used to fabricate pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and reactors in oil & gas, chemical, or energy processing environments. Our transition joint components can be used as piping junctions in LNG or air separation units or to join aluminum to steel hulls in shipbuilding. The equipment application list is pretty expansive pending the temperature, pressure, and corrosion parameters of the environment. nobelclad.com/industries

I was wondering this too, down below they say "Caleb, There is a very high energy jet formed by the collision between the two metals, best seen from 2:14 to 2:40. That jet drives the spacers we use to keep the plates separated out from between the metals." So it seems they do get blown out by that high velocity wind.

@@chashahjohnson @tpaairman Correct! The jet from the explosion 'pushes or blows' the spacers from the pack.

I think that it is because certain thicknesses of plate steel are not sold so with this method they can create any plate thickness they desire

No incorrect...this is used on infrustruces that chance metal...on tug boats where the boat is steel and the pilot house aluminum....they use this and weld the pilot house to the top aluminum portion

Few surface material properties are required in ballistic missiles, space programs, etc. If one wants to weld tantalum and steel, this is a cost effective way.

Aggregate mining.

It's also used to make transition plates used it electrical power systems. To connect copper to aluminum you use a transition plate that is aluminum on one side and copper on the other. Copper and aluminum don't work well together and a transition plate solve the corrosion / galvanic action issues when joining the two. Look up electrical transition plates.

Thanks for the questions! Actually in instances where the processing environment is too corrosive for a solid stainless steel or carbon steel, clad is used. When there’s high temperatures or high pressures, corrosion resistant alloys are explosion welded to stainless steel and carbon steel. The idea here is that multiple metals explosion bonded together achieve additional, functional benefits unachievable with a single metal.

In some processing environments, leveraging a corrosion-resistant metal is very expensive. It is not cost-effective to make an entire vessel out of titanium or zirconium. With DetaClad, you can leverage a thin layer of Ti or Zr welded to a Steel or Carbon steel as a composite, more cost-effective solution where the equipment doesn't need to be replaced as often if a solely steel was used.

Hi Reno’s Garage - I can understand why it seems like a contradicting statement, but it’s true. By detonating high-energy explosives, our process drives one metal into another, creating a strong metallurgical bond without the need to melt them.

Hi Alex, Great question. It depends on how thin you need. 0.5" is the thinnest plate we can deliver with explosion welding. If you’re looking for thinner clad material, we can leverage roll bonding to deliver a bonded plate that’s even thinner.

It's more like soldering because at least one of the two materials stay solid, here both of them are solid.

@@johntheux9238 It is not considered soldering nor anything close. This is a weld; Solid State Weld to be exact. Soldering and brazing are forms of "gluing". This is considered Explosion Welding. As stated above, Explosion welding is a solid state weld, meaning there is no fusion of materials at the bond zone. Fusion welding is MIG, TIG, Stick, etc. Explosion welding share electrons at a depth of about 30 nano-meters (If my memory serves correctly)

@@liveunlimited8112 Makes sense since solid state welding also works with identical materials even if it's often unwanted (like for spacecraft components which have no oxyde layer protecting them from each other)

@@johntheux9238 are you on drugs? LOOK UP the definition of soldering/brazing. There is no low-melting point filler involved here! JFC

@@railgap And you should look up at the definition of welding. Both pieces are supposed to melt together. Here they stays separated, like soldering/brazing.

Pretty sure they invented clad rolling and friction stir welding first, then moved to high explosives where clad rolling is impossible.

WW2 shrapnel sticking to armour plating and welding on. They figured out it was the explosive force not heat

@@magicponyrides dont worry. Inflation will take care of that.

@@pyromaniac354 But will it?

Hi Alva Sam - This is a great question - we have not tried metal to volcanic rock.

The two metals are welded together by the shockwave of the explosive compound, the upper layer (cladder) which has the explosive on top is forced downward so hard and fast that the molecules of the two materials fuse together. The two plates slam together so fast that the inner surface of the two plates liquefies and incorporates into the other. The little metal spacers they spot welded between the plates provides enough room for the cladder to gain sufficient velocity to allow the welding to occur (If the two plates were touching together they would just deform instead of fusing together), and are spit out along with impurities and oxides present on the surfaces that would otherwise inhibit the weld.
