Abstract
A method for explosively welding a tube to a tubesheet having a cladding extending over an outer surface thereof. A layer of material is bonded over the cladding which absorbs the energy from the shock wave formed by the explosive welding, to prevent breaking up the bond between the cladding and the tubesheet.
