At PHOHOM, explosive cladding (explosive welding/explosive bonding) is a key solid-state metal joining process. During production, two metal plates achieve high-speed oblique collision driven by precisely controlled explosive detonation. Within microseconds, ultra-high pressure and localized transient high temperature form at the collision interface, generating intensive plastic deformation and surface jetting that removes oxides and activates metal surfaces.
Under the combined effects of high pressure, local melting and atomic diffusion, the two metals form a permanent metallurgical bond without a significant heat-affected zone (HAZ). This advanced technology enables high-strength bonding of dissimilar metals that cannot be joined by traditional welding, fully maintaining the original mechanical, corrosion-resistant and physical properties of each material.
