摘要： In high-velocity impact welding (HVIW), vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) can be utilized to join dissimilar metals. In comparison with conventional welding processes, the VFAW process minimizes energy loss, enhances weld strength, and effectively mitigates issues of overheating or material deformation associated with traditional welding methods. In this study, VFAW was utilized to successfully weld three different metal materials (Cu, Al6061-T6, Q235). An accurate smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model was established based on the experimental results. The impacts of collision angle and velocity of the flyer on the interface morphology of Cu/Al6061-T6 weld were investigated using the SPH method. The experimental results show that with an increase in the collision angle from 0° to 20°, both the wavelength and amplitude of the welding interface significantly increase. The tail vortex phenomenon also becomes more pronounced with the angle of tail rotation caused by particle motion gradually increasing. But when the collision angle exceeds 20°, the wavelength and amplitude of the welding interface tend to stabilize while its influence on tail vortex phenomenon decreases. The tail rotation angle induced by particle motion continues to increase, although at a decreasing rate. When the initial collision angle is kept constant, both the wavelength and amplitude of the welding interface continue to rise with increasing collision velocity up to 900 m/s. The wake vortex phenomenon becomes more pronounced as the number of particles in the jet gradually increases.
