Abstract
In this study, aluminum based composites with stainless steel wire-mesh as reinforcement is fabricated by explosive compaction technique. Stacks containing four layers of alternatively positioned aluminum sheets and stainless steel wire-meshes are explosively compacted at varied explosive masses and the results are reported. Microstructure of explosive compacted aluminum composite reveal a smooth interface at lower explosive mass, while formation of reacted products are observed at higher energetic conditions. Though the hardness of the post clad composite is higher than pre-clad materials, the maximum hardness is observed at the first interface.
