Abstract
Abstract The present disclosure is directed to a laminated metallic composite and to a process for the production of said composites which comprises placing metallic spacers between the metal sheets to be bonded, said spacers being wound in a helical shape from a wire with the axis of the spirals oriented substantially parallel with respect to the metal sheets, applying a layer of explosive to the upper sheet of metal and detonating said explosive to produce impingement and welding of the upper sheet with the remaining sheets.
