A technique for the fabrication of several mono and/or bimetallic cladded plates using a single explosive charge has been developed at our laboratories. This technique enables the explosive welding of thin plates or foils which are otherwise produced by the rolling of thick explosively cladded plates. This paper describes the technique and lays down the theoretical basis for the determination of the process parameters. It is shown that up to four sheets of 0.5 mm thick stainless steel cladded to 2.0 mm mild steel could be produced using a single explosive charge. The technique was also used for the manufacturing of 8 sheets of 0.25 mm copper foil cladded to 0.5 mm mild steel plate.
