Vaporizing foil actuator welding: Joining by impact
- By Tim Heston
- Feb 5, 2018
- Metals/Materials
- Article
Vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) uses the pressure from an electrically driven explosion to impact-weld dissimilar metals at high speed. It does this by changing a thin metal foil from a solid to a gas and using the pressure to push one base metal—over a short, controlled distance—toward another base metal. This all happens within millionths of a second, with impact speeds about twice the speed of sound in air.
