High-Voltage/High-Current Pulsed Power for Civil, Commercial, Research, and Military Test Applications - Part IV: Pulse Magnetic Welding

Summary form only given. Pulse magnetic welding is rated among the best methods for welding tubular parts, and is especially suited for aluminum alloys and for pairs of different metals, but it is also a most intricate one. This paper presents research results of implosive accelerating of tubular details using pulsed magnetic field, and numeric data of real industrial application. Two types of pulse current generator design are discussed, as well as methods to optimize working coil design. Calculated and measured distribution of magnetic field in various coils and field-shapers is reported, and also the influence of coil material on technological results.
