Nondestructive Testing. Nondestmctive inspection of an explosion-welded composite is almost totally restricted to ultrasonic and visual inspection. Radiographic inspection is appHcable only to special types of composites consisting of two metals having a significant mismatch in density and a large wave pattern in the bond interface (see Nondestructive evaluation). [Pg.148]

Ultrasonics. The most widely used nondestmctive test method for explosion-welded composites is ultrasonic inspection. Pulse-echo procedures (ASTM A435) are appHcable for inspection of explosion-welded composites used in pressure appHcations. [Pg.148]

Ra.m Tensile. A ram tensile test has been developed to evaluate the bond-2one tensile strength of explosion-bonded composites. The specimen is designed to subject the bonded interface to a pure tensile load. The cross-section area of the specimen is the area of the aimulus between the outer and inner diameters of the specimen. The specimen typically has a very short tensile gauge length and is constmcted so as to cause failure at the bonded interface. The ultimate tensile strength and relative ductihty of the explosion-bonded interface can be obtained by this technique. [Pg.149]

Mech nic lF tig ue. Some mechanical fatigue tests have been conducted on explosion-clad composites where the plane of maximum tensile stress is placed near the bond 2one (30). [Pg.149]

Explosives. Sodium teUurite is used as a jelling promoter in explosive compositions that can be readily poured or pumped into drillholes (91)... [Pg.392]

Explosives. Explosives can be detected usiag either radiation- or vapor-based detection. The aim of both methods is to respond specifically to the properties of the energetic material that distinguish it from harmless material of similar composition. A summary of techniques used is given ia Table 7. These techniques are useful for detecting organic as well as inorganic explosives (see Explosives and propellants). [Pg.249]

Applicability/Limitations The process is nonspecific. Solids must be in solution. Reactions can be explosive. Waste composition must be well known to prevent the inadvertent production of a more toxic or more hazardous end product. Oxidation processes are applicable for the following classes of organic contaminants ... [Pg.146]

The Universal Hopkinson-Cranz and Sachs Laws of Blast Scaling have both been verified by experiment. These laws state that self-similar blast (shock) waves are produced at idendcal scaled distances when two explosive charges of similar geometry and the same explosive composition, but of different size, are detonated in the same atmosphere [49].
