Abstract

In this article, we present the results of the research into the characteristics of the conditions of heating and explosive destruction of Al-Cu, Fe-Ti, Fe-Cu, and Fe-Pb wires under a pulse of current with the density of 107 A/cm2. It has been shown that the energy that is deposited into the wire may depend on the relation between the thermophysical parameters and specific electric resistivity of the metals. It has been determined that under a pulse of current, the wires may explode synchronously or non-synchronously. During a synchronous explosion of wires, a single voltage pulse is generated. In the case of non-synchronous explosion, the wires explode in a succession, thus generating two voltage pulses. We suggested a dimensionless parameter that allows for predicting whether an electrical explosion of two wires of dissimilar metals is synchronous or non-synchronous. According to the research findings, non-synchronous nature of wire explosion may impact the formation of bimetallic particles through the explosion of two intertwined wires made of dissimilar metals.
