Abstract

A test setup is described for investigating flyer plate deformation during impact spot welding. High speed photography is used to study the dynamics of bulge formation, spark growth, and projectile illumination during primary and secondary impact of flat-ended projectiles. It is suggested that fragmentation of the spark is due to inter-metallic jetting. Measurements on collision angle β and collision front velocity are reported for several metal plate combinations.
