In the field of metal composite material manufacturing, rolled composite panels and explosive composite panels are like masters with different styles. Rolled composite panels are like calm craftsmen. They rely on the rolling machine to apply gentle pressure. Then the metal layers are closely connected.
Explosive composite panels are like brave warriors. They use the powerful impact of explosive explosions. Then the metal is instantly combined. Next, Hongfang will take you to understand their differences in detail from the aspects of production process, performance, application, cost, etc.
Manufacturing process
Rolled composite panels
Imagine that the production of rolled composite panels is like a “gentle extrusion party”. The base metal sheet and the cladding metal sheet are fed into the rolling machine. Then, under the “warm embrace” of the strong pressure of the rolling machine, they are tightly attached to each other. Plastic deformation occurs between the metal sheets. Just like two friends holding hands, a strong metallurgical bond is naturally achieved.
This process is relatively simple. It is as easy to get started as playing with building blocks. And it is also particularly easy to achieve automated production. The choice of materials is also flexible. Just like going shopping in the supermarket, you can choose whatever you like.
Explosive composite plate
The manufacturing process of explosive composite board is like a “thrilling explosion feast”. First, carefully place the explosion bonding composite plate on the substrate. Then spread a layer of explosives on the composite board, which is like putting an “explosive coat” on the composite board. When the explosives are detonated, the ultra-high pressure and ultra-high speed impact energy generated instantly. Let the explosion-bonded cladding plate hit the substrate at a very fast speed.
At this moment of high temperature and high pressure. The interface of the two metal materials is like being cast a magic, achieving solid phase welding and tightly combined.
However, this process is not as easy to control as rolling. The technical requirements are quite high. Just like walking on a tightrope, it is necessary to carefully select the parent material properties, explosive properties, initial parameters and dynamic parameters. Any mistake in any link may affect the yield and quality of the composite board.
Performance characteristics
Rolled composite plate
Strength and toughness: The base metal plate of the rolled composite plate is like a strong “Hercules”. It provides strong strength and toughness for the rolled composite plate. This allows it to withstand various pressures and challenges.
Processing performance: The rolled composite plate is like a well-behaved “little sheep” during the processing. It is not easy to crack and delaminate. Whether it is cutting, bending or welding. It can easily cope with it and has good processing performance.
Explosive composite plate:
Interface bonding strength: The huge energy generated by the explosion of explosives makes the composite plate hit the substrate at high speed like a “super cannonball”. Under the action of high temperature and high pressure, the interface of the two materials achieves solid phase welding.
This bonding strength is very high, just like sticking them together with strong glue, it is difficult to separate them.
Diversity of material combinations: The explosive composite plate is like a “magic transformation master”. It is a cold processing process that can combine many different metals together.
In addition to the common stainless steel composite plate. It can also produce a variety of metal composite plates such as titanium, copper, and aluminum to meet different needs.
Thickness range: The explosive composite plate is like a “giant” in terms of thickness. It can produce composite plates with a total thickness of several hundred millimeters. It is especially suitable for some occasions with high thickness requirements.
Application fields
Rolled composite plate
Rolled composite plate is very useful in the chemical industry, oil and gas industry, desalination and desulfurization system, and food processing industry.
In the chemical industry, it is like a “loyal guard” to protect equipment from corrosion.
In the oil and gas industry, it is like a “strong backing”. It provides sufficient strength and corrosion resistance for pipelines and tanks.
In the desalination and desulfurization system, it is like a “filter expert” to resist the erosion of seawater.
In the food processing industry, it is like a “hygiene model” to ensure the safety and hygiene of food.
Explosive composite plate
Explosion welded clad plate for pressure vessels stainless steel is “independent” in the fields of petroleum, metallurgy, machinery, aerospace, atomic energy and other industries.
In the petroleum industry, it can produce corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant pipes and storage tanks.
In the metallurgical industry, it can be used to manufacture various high-performance composite steels.
In the machinery industry, it provides high strength and high wear resistance for mechanical equipment.
In the aerospace field, it is like a “light wing”, which reduces the weight of the aircraft while ensuring strength and safety.
In the atomic energy industry, it is like a “safety guard” to resist the erosion of radioactive substances.
Cost and safety
Rolled composite board
Rolled composite board is like a “thrifty little expert” in terms of cost. Its production cost is relatively low, and it is also easy to achieve large-scale production. Just like mass production of small toys, it is low cost and high efficiency.
In terms of safety, it is like a “docile kitten”. Danger is not easy to occur during the production process, so that workers can operate with confidence.
Explosive composite board
The production cost of explosion bonded clad plate can be like a “noble”. Its cost is relatively high, and the technical requirements are also high. It is difficult to achieve large-scale automated production. Just like making a fine work of art, it takes more time and effort.
In terms of safety, it is like a “naughty little bomb”. There are certain dangers and uncertainties in the production process. Workers need to strictly abide by the safety operating procedures and operate carefully to avoid accidents.
From performance characteristics, application areas, to cost and safety, rolled composite plates and explosive composite plates each occupy a place in the map of metal composite material manufacturing technology. With their unique advantages, they provide solid and strong support for the development of many industries.
Over the years, Hongfang Metal has always focused on the research and development and production of metal composite materials.
