Abstract: Pull test and combine test on the pure aluminum-carbon steel explosive clad plate were conducted, and the influence of two test methods on the bonding strength of explosive clad plate was studied. The results showed that the test values of the pull test gradually increased with the decrease of the distance (X section) between the interface and the transitional arc of the pure aluminum side, and that the fracture location also transferred from the pure aluminum cladding to the combining interface; that there was no significant difference between the test values of the combine test and the pull test with X=0.5 mm, but the discreteness of the combine test results was significantly lower than that of the pull test results.
