Abstract
A thin Ni-film has been cladded to an aluminium alloy by the use of an expl osive. Two him thicknesses (50 and 100 mu m) and four explosive composition s have been used. The cladding has been characterised by surface topography , microhardness measurements, optical and scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy; residual stresses through the film and the bonding have been determined by X-ray diffraction. In all cases, a good qu ality bonding is obtained: with a low roughness on the film surface. Compre ssive residual stresses have been measured from the surface to the bonding.
