Conjugated spherical metal shells are an idea combination of pressure vessels,and the total vessel volume could be adjusted through different combinations of the components.But the difficulties of manufacturing those conjugated parts limited its wide application of such vessels.The results of non-die explosive forming of conjugated spherical pressure vessels might provide a new and simple manufacturing method of such construction.
Non-die explosive forming of bi metallic spherical vessels is a new and simple manufacturing method.This paper verified the design principles of the shell structures and its maintechnological parameters,uncovered the broad perspectives of its engineering application.
