Recently, the response of inhomogeneous plates undergoing explosive welding was analytically modeled.
2.
In explosive welding, the pressure to bond the two layers is provided by detonation of a sheet of chemical explosive.
3.
The main difference between magnetic pulse welding and explosive welding is that the collision angle and the velocity are almost constant during the explosive welding process, while in magnetic pulse welding they continuously vary.

Double-layer liners, with one layer of a less dense but pyrophoric metal ( e . g . aluminum or magnesium ), can be used to enhance incendiary effects following the armor-piercing action; explosive welding can be used for making those, as then the metal-metal interface is homogeneous, does not contain significant amount of intermetallics, and does not have adverse effects to the formation of the jet.
