Re Nb Ta Mo W

3. Subject of our interest

EXPLOSIVE CLADDING OF BRITTLE REFRACTORY METALS

Considered as refractory metalsbecause of their melting point is more than 2200°C

Mo W

Subject of our interestThey are highly demanded by different high-tech industries as coatings

BUT THEY ARE RELATIVE BRITTLE

7. Brittle – Ductile Transition

EXPLOSIVE CLADDING OF BRITTLE REFRACTORY METALS

Some materials, especially metals withbody-centered cubic lattice, have relatively narrow brittle-ductile transition temperature range

The simplest explanation scheme ofbrittle-ductile transition effect

1 – Ultimate tensile strength2 – Yield strength

8. Factors influencing on the brittle-ductile transition temperature

EXPLOSIVE CLADDING OF BRITTLE REFRACTORY METALS

The brittle-ductile transition temperature is not a constant for certain metal or alloy.

It depends on many factors.

9. Plate thickness influence

0.3 mm thickness Mo clad to stainless steelat ambient temperature

EXPLOSIVE CLADDING OF BRITTLE REFRACTORY METALS

Increasing of the thickness of a cladding plate leads to moving the brittle-ductile transition temperature to the higher values. This can be explained, firstly, by the fact that passage of plastic deformation in thethicker metal is more difficult, especially in the central part of the plate. Secondly, the thicker plate, thehigher probability of the presence of rolling defects. These factors impede the movement of dislocations and, consequently, make the metal more brittle

13. Deformation velocity influence

EXPLOSIVE CLADDING OF BRITTLE REFRACTORY METALS

Increasing the deformation velocity of a cladding plate leads to moving the brittle-ductile transitiontemperature to the higher values. The simplified explanation is that increasing deformation velocity leads to increasing dynamic tensile strength and dynamic yield strength. However, the last one grows muchfaster, so the difference between them decreases. In this case, materials becomes more brittle underexplosion loading and higher temperature is required to avoid cracks.

15. Common methodology for finding critical brittle-ductile transition temperature

EXPLOSIVE CLADDING OF BRITTLE REFRACTORY METALS

Cracking occurs duringexplosive cladding atambient temperature

Toughness – temperaturedependence test proceduresat 20…400°C

* Making tests above 400°C is notreasonable

Explosive welding must be done at the temperature 50…100°C higher than it wasfound with toughness tests
