Explosion Welding: how it's done

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Very interesting! It seems incredibly crude and yet high tech at the same time.

Surely there must be a better way to do this than wasting all those volatiles to make a sheet of bonded metal? I'm thinking of an incredibly heavy, high-speed press.

Sounds expensive!

@dag I guess the problem is that you'd be hard pressed (pun not intended) to find a mechanical process where the timescale for energy build up and release compares to that of the timescale for release of the chemical energy. I suppose crazy big capacitors and magnets might do something cool though... Then again the magnets might deform... Hmm.

Whats the point of using a press when you can blow shit together?

And trust the yanks to come up with names like "backer" and "cladder". WTF. "Well y'all gotta birddog the backer to the cladder before it moseys down the dosado. Yeeehawww!" I want technobabble with my howto's.
