2 Introduction Underwater explosive welding; A welding method using underwater shock wave generated by the detonation of explosive in the water. ( Advantage ) ・ Easy to control the pressurizing conditions by only changing the distance between the explosive and the flyer plate. ・ A flyer plate is accelerated at a high-velocity immediately with in a small stand-off distance. Schematic of the underwater shockwave welding method when the high-explosive is used. Flyer plate Base plate Possible to weld a thin plate which is difficult to weld by the conventional explosive welding method.

3 The method to weld partially be developed to make a large-size sample, when the size of thin plate is limited. The underwater explosive welding technique is suitable to weld the whole thin plate. Motivation Thin plate/foil (size is limited, brittle materials) Amorphous film,etc.

4 Detonating code Detonating code (fuse): / flexible code with an explosive core / detonation velocity: 6310m/s / diameter: 5.4mm / common usage; ignition of explosive Core: Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) Covering materials: Thread, paper, asphalt (for waterproof) KAYAKU JAPAN Corp.

5 Welding of lap joints ( Welding of lap joints (Ref: B. Crossland, Explosive welding of metals and its application) In the past report, no welding area is generated when the line explosive is set on the flyer plate. Because the flyer plate is collided to base plate without an angle or with a small angle in this area.

21 Summary In this study, experimental and numerical results of for the underwater explosive welding method using the detonating code are introduced. By the observation using the optical microscope, the good welding was achieved in case of a thin aluminum plate and a thin copper plate combination, even if the standoff if the standoff was extremely short. In the materials combination of amorphous film and a copper plate, the welding was succeeded although cracks were generated.
