In this study, the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the explosive welded (EXWed) steel–bronze bilayer composite sheets before and after rolling are presented. Dissimilar welding was performed at two stand-off distances with various charge thicknesses. The welded bilayer sheets w...
