High Energy Metals, Inc. (HEMI) specializes in explosive metalworking. The most common explosive metalworking technique is explosive welding, also known as explosive bonding or explosive cladding. This metalworking technique is used to join dissimilar metals into a high-quality joint. The transition joint has high mechanical strength, is ultra-high vacuum tight, and can withstand drastic thermal excursions. High Energy Metals, Inc. has CNC machining capabilities, and the engineering expertise to design and build products that incorporate explosive welded joints in them. Aluminum/stainless Con-FlatTM type vacuum flanges, high-power microwave electronic packages, and threaded bosses are some examples.
