download PDFAbstract. In this study, explosive cladding of aluminum 5052-aluminum 1100 plates with silicon carbide particles spread between them is attempted. The percentage of silicon carbide particles is varied from 6% to 12% by wt., keeping other parameters viz., standoff distance, loading ratio, flyer and base plate thickness and preset angle as constant. The influence of silicon carbide (SiCp) on the interface microstructure and strength are discussed and correlated with the conventional explosive clad. The interface microstructure reveals a smooth interface free from defects and an increase in silicon carbide particles enhances the strength of the dissimilar aluminum explosive clad.
