Abstract
A 5083 Al/1060 Al/AZ31 composite plate was fabricated by explosive welding. The microstructure and properties of the composite plate were investigated after explosive welding. The results showed that all bonding interfaces were wavy interfaces. With an increasing distance from the detonation point, the wavelength and the amplitude also increased. The EDS results indicated that a 5-μm diffusion layer was observed at the 1060 Al/AZ31 layer, including the Mg2Al3 phase. Adiabatic shear bands and twin structures were observed in AZ31. The shear bond strength of the 5083 Al/1060 Al interface was 60 MPa, and the shear bond strength of the 1060 Al/AZ31 interface was 84 MPa.
