Strength & Toughness Testing of Inconel Cladded Carbon Steel

Hi all,

Could you please provide for me test methods for testing inconel cladded Carbon steel. I see that UT is used for delamination testing, and also bend test of test specimens are used for delamination testing.

Another issue is the Cladding technique. What is preferable?

RE: Strength & Toughness Testing of Inconel Cladded Carbon Steel

As a fabricator, our preference is to use explosion bonded clad.  We've used it on many projects and always had good results.  As an aside, I think you'll experience shorter lead times than what is typically available with roll bonded material.
Shear testing is another common requirement.  You might want to reference the applicable material specification for more info.  (SA265)  You might want to check out Dynamic Materials website for some info in the explosion bonding process.

RE: Strength & Toughness Testing of Inconel Cladded Carbon Steel

We also shear test all clad and UT for bonding.

we also use explosion bonded clad

Dynamic Materials as well

NEVER a problem

There is a good reason that DMC dominates the world wide explosive clad market.  They know their stuff.

Thanks for the answers.

As an followup I wonder if explosion cladding is possible on complex designs, or is it used only on plates and such?
