A mathematical model is proposed for investigating the effect of parameters of welding with the energy of electrical explosion of a conductor on the quality and reliability of tube-tube plate welded joints. The possibility of controlling the parameters of collision by regulating the angle of preparation of the orifice in the tube plate and the parameters of the discharge circuit of electrical engineering equipment (EEE) are discussed. Combined preparation of the orifice in the tube plate is an efficient method of increasing the quality of the investigated welded joint.
