ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed of explosive bonding two or more components together by forming the components into a stack, placing the stack into an envelope made of a deformable material, sealing the envelope except for an evacuation port, evacuating the interior of the envelope through the said port and subjecting the stack to explosive bonding within the envelope, thereby joining the components together; by conducting the explosive bonding in an evacuated envelope, not only are the components protected from damage during the explosion but the bonding is enhanced due to the reduced pressure of air between the components. After bonding, the stack can be subjected to superplastic forming.
