Explosive Metal Bonding

Design engineers are often faced with the dilemma of material selection, and frequently, they find that a combination of materials provides the optimal properties required by the design. Explosive Metal Bonding, or welding from PacAero, can join otherwise incompatible materials without compromising other design elements. It allows the use of two different, normally unwedable metals, in a single work piece.

Why Explosively Bonded Metals?

Material A exhibits good corrosive resistance, electrical conductivity, or thermal conductivity, while Material B offers better strength, hardness, weldability, or wear resistance required by the final design. Explosive Metal Bonding from PacAero allows engineers to combine Material A and Material B, utilizing each where it serves best.

Explosive Metal Bonding from PacAero has helped customers achieve the “impossible” for more than 40 years with its innovative solutions for metal-to-ceramic, metal-to-composite, and explosively bonded metals. 

Explosively Bonded Metals from PacAero offer unique performance characteristics for a range of defense, space, medical, and commercial applications.
