More Information
Summary:Disclosed is means for the explosive bonding of metallic tubing sections to one another. The portions of the tubes to be bonded are maintained in intimately contacting relationship, and an explosive charge is provided in proximity thereto. This charge, when detonated, creates shock waves which cause the sections to be driven together, creating the bond. Additional axial or circumferential support means may be provided to constrain the tubing sections during bonding. The means for maintaining the intimately contacting relationship may comprise this support means, the explosive charge, or a combination thereof.
