EFFECT OF UNEVEN PLASTIC DEFORMATION ON WIDTH OF CLAD LAYERS OF EXPLOSIVE WELDED THREE-LAYERS STRIP.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the basic reasons for obtaining narrower clad layers of CuZn10 alloy in regards to the central layer of steel strip DC04 are described. Some reasons for the reduction of the thickness of clad layers along the side edges of the strip are also described, as well as the change in the length of these parts with reduced thickness related to the reduction of the height of the rolled strip. A total spreading of the three-layers strip during hot rolling was determined and also the distance from the side edges of the strip which, after rolling, remained uncovered with the clad layers including the parts with reduced thickness of clad layers along the side edges of the strip.
