Abstract
The invention shows a method of joining metal elements by means of explosion welding, the edges of the metal element being bent up or otherwise provided with flanges. Since the charge(s) act primarily on the flanges in a direction other than the longitudinal direction of the metal elements, deformation of the metal elements is avoided or reduced. Due to its simplicity the joint is easily reproducible and is particularly suited for work under water.
