Abstract

Distributions of residual stress components in explosively welded three-layer plate composed of titanium Grade 12, titanium Grade 1 and SA516 Grade 70 steel are investigated in this paper. The study applied the sectioning and the hole-drilling strain gage methods for residual stress measurement. The results have shown an inhomogeneous residual stress distribution, approximated by fourth-order polynomial along the thickness of a three-layer plate. Biaxial compressive residual stress state is observed in titanium Grade 12 and Grade 1 layers which change to tensile type in the vicinity of the interface between titanium Grade 1 and steel. Microstructure observation reveals the presence of the adiabatic shear bands in titanium Grade 12 layer at the interface with titanium Grade 1 interlayer. The observed distribution of residual stress components is justified by the occurrence of the shock wave phenomena.
