In 2024, MTSCO provided a batch of customized explosive cladding plates for a petrochemical equipment project in Brazil. The substrate is SA 516 Gr.60N, the coating is Monel 400 (UNS N04400), the total thickness is 20mm (16+4mm structure), and all products strictly follow the ASTM A265 standard. The project requires high standards and fast delivery, which not only has strict requirements on material performance, but also ensures that there are no quality risks such as delamination and cracks. With mature explosive welding technology, 1-15mm precise gap control technology, and precise control of explosion wave stress propagation, MTSCO has achieved an atomic-level bonding strength of over 352MPa, and passed 100% ultrasonic testing and TÜV third-party certification, successfully completing the delivery task.
Explosive cladding plate is a cladding material that combines two different metals in a solid state through explosive welding technology. Compared with traditional welding methods, it does not need to melt the metal, but uses microsecond high-pressure shock waves to make the two metal plates collide at a very high speed to achieve metallurgical bonding at the interface. This method is particularly suitable for heterogeneous metal cladding structures such as titanium steel, nickel steel, copper and aluminum, and meets the application requirements of high-corrosion, high-temperature and high-strength scenes such as chemical, petrochemical, pressure vessels, desalination equipment, heat exchangers and marine equipment.
During the project, in order to ensure the high-strength metallurgical bonding between nickel-based alloys and carbon steel, MTSCO accurately matched and controlled the propagation path of the explosion stress wave and the dynamic response of the material in the actual project . This can ensure the two reached the optimal synergistic state at the moment of impact. By scientifically designing the buffer layer and the collision angle, the flatness and fit of the cladding interface are guaranteed, effectively improving the consistency and stability of the interface quality.
This project also confirms the advantages of explosive cladding plates in "high performance + cost optimization". It is based on carbon steel, taking into account both mechanical properties and cost control; the cladding metal is concentrated in key corrosion areas, greatly improving corrosion resistance and reducing later maintenance. At the same time, due to its excellent welding compatibility, it can be directly integrated with standard equipment to reduce construction complexity.
MTSCO has many years of experience in nickel alloys and their cladding applications, and can provide one-stop services such as material selection, drawing optimization, and process assistance. If you are looking for a metal solution that takes into account both structural strength and corrosion protection, please contact the MTSCO team.
