Joints of Steel-Brass One-Side Welded by Explosive Method

In this paper the results of investigation of the BW08 steel and M80 brass joints are presented. These joints were formed in three-layer billets (brass-steel-brass) during two-stage and one-side explosive welding. The investigations included microhardness and metallographic examination as well as determination of the superficial distribution of elements. On the basis of the results obtained it can be stated that the process of steel-brass joining runs in a high complicated manner through a plastic deformation and adhesion phenomena.
