摘要

Thermal fatigue performance of copper/stainless steel explosive welding joint was investigated by using a highly effective thermal fatigue test device. The testing device adopted induction coil to heat and carry out two groups of thermal fatigue test at the same time. Metallurgical microscope and scanning electron microscope were used to respectively measure the surface crack and cross-section crack propagation morphology of the explosive welding joint specimen that were conducted thermal cycling for different upper limit temper-atures and different cycle time.Experimental results indicated that the cyclic thermal stress and oxidation corrosion was the major factors for fatigue damage behavior of explosive welding joints, where the oxidation corrosion of the interface has become more serious with the in-creasing the upper limit temperature or the number of cycles rising. Thermal fatigue cracks initiation was mainly beginning from the wavy interface between copper and stainless steel, the vortex-like cast microstructure formed by explosive welding can prevent the crack from propagating along the interface edge and change the direction of crack propagation.The initiation and expansionof thermal fatigue cracks were observed in the copper matrix.
