Explosion Bonding or Explosion Cladding or Explosion Welding is a technically based industrial welding process. As any other welding process, it complies with well understood, reliable principles. The process uses an explosive detonation as the energy source to produce a metallurgical bond between metal components. It can be used to join virtually any metals combination, both those that are metallurgically compatible and those that are known as non-weldable by conventional processes. Furthermore, this process can clad one or more layers onto one or both faces of a base metal, with the potential for each to be a different metal type or alloy.

The explosion cladding process was discovered in the late 1950's. By the end of the 1960's the process had been industrialized worldwide. During the near forty years of industrial application, the process has been continuously refined. Experienced manufacturers have codified the technology and the method of determining bonding parameters. In comparison to the 1960's, today manufacturers can produced much larger plates, up to 30 square meters, and have mastered the more difficult metals combinations including cladding zirconium onto stainless steel.
