Abstract

Though it might appear merely as a curiosity at first sight, explosives have already been employed for the integral welding of dissimilar metals to yield functional composites for use mainly in shipbuilding, off-shore and chemical installations. We have now explored the use of this technology for the joining of thin precious metal sheets with other metals. A variety of two-coloured semi-fabricates with potential ornamental applications in jewelry were produced. The bond strength and the formability of the various materials combinations were examined.
