Maxwell Technologies built impact welding for Hanford labs back in the early 80's. I worked there when that was going on. It was for making plugs to fuel rods for reactors.
Beauty. Keep up the good work guys, I hope you guys realize that this is one of those things that revolutionizes human history, our capacity to achieve and build greater things.
I believe there are some detonators that use this same principle. Bridge wire or r bridge foil dets I believe. Low ability to be mishandled so used for access annual applications on things you only wanna go boom if you've got the right code
THIS stuff is sci-fi tech. It would use a lot of energy, but imagine how quickly you could crank out parts compared to pressing & welding. Also doesn't need the same type of tooling.
BEAUTIFUL! Some forty years ago I saw Al/Steel and Al/Cu explosion welding of plates and tubes at La Plata University in Argentine.

hey, can I get this ppt file ? i need it for my presentation at my college. I chose VFAW as a presentation topic.
