These salts all exhibit good physical and detonation
These salts all exhibit good physical and detonation properties, such as moderate thermal stabilities, high densities, moderate to high heats of formation, and high detonation pressures and velocities, as well as acceptable oxygen balance. Calculated detonation values for these compounds are comparable to those of explosives such as TNT and RDX. The salts of 26 are impact insensitive (9.0–15.0 J) compared to their molecular precursor (1.5 J). They are less sensitive than or comparable to RDX, which implies that they could be of interest for future applications because they are environmentally friendly and high-performing nitrogen- and oxygen-rich materials. Tables 2 and 3 show some physical and ballistic properties of azo-bridged polytrinitro triazole salts, respectively.

Introduction
Conventional lap seam welding processes can be classified as fusion-based which include resistance seam, laser beam, vegf inhibitor beam, plasma arc welding, soldering, and brazing and solid-state-based which include ultrasonic welding and roll bonding. The lap seam welds produced by fusion based methods are often associated with a variety of problems, including cracking, high porosity, deleterious metallurgical changes, and high residual stresses. Resistance seam welding is difficult to apply to aluminum alloys because of their high conductivity, low strength at temperature, and tendency to degrade the electrodes [1] and aluminum and copper require more energy because of their low electrical resistance. Steels with high carbon equivalents need additional post-weld annealing treatments and some combinations of dissimilar metal resistance welds can form intermetallics resulting in poor mechanical properties or liquid metal induced embrittlement [2]. Cracking, expulsion of molten metal, and unclean work-piece surfaces can all cause defective resistance seam welds. Laser welds are sensitive to heat input. High laser pulse energy resulted in poor mechanical properties and increased discontinuities in weld joints [3]. When the heat input was too high, craters and pores appeared in the fusion zone of AZ 31 alloy [4]. Limitations of ultrasonic welding include an inability to weld large and thick base metals and a tendency of base metals to bond to the anvil or sonotrode [5]. Further ultrasonic welding method has not yet been fully optimized and a number of issues remain to be addressed [6]. Roll bonding of alloys such as Titanium to other alloys such as steels will result in the formation of titanium oxide and brittle intermetallic compounds. These metallurgical changes reduce their interface bond strength [7].
Cladding refers to the deposition of a filler metal on a substrate metal to impart corrosion, wear resistance or some desired property that is not possessed by the substrate metal. Examples of cladding include hard facing for the purpose of reducing wear, abrasion, impact, erosion, galling, or cavitation, weld cladding for the purpose of providing a corrosion-resistant surface and buttering for the purpose of adding one or more layers of weld metal to the face of the joint or surface to be welded. Conventional cladding processes can be classified as fusion-based including electric arc welding processes, brazing, electron beam
welding, and laser beam welding and solid-state welding processes including explosive cladding, friction surfacing and roll bonding. The clad metals produced by conventional fusion-based methods are often associated with a variety of problems, including cracking, high porosity, deleterious metallurgical changes, and high residual stresses. High percentages of dilution, viz., the amount of base metal in the clad metal can occur in such fusion-based clad metals. Dilution percentages are typically very high, as high as 20%–50%, in most commonly used arc cladding processes such as submerged arc. Explosion cladding is typically restricted to metals with minimum elongation of 10%–15% and a notch toughness value above 30 J at bonding temperature [8]. Friction surfacing is limited by its inability to produce larger clad areas in less time.
