A PROCESS FOR PREPARING A METALLURGICALLY BONDED CLAD METAL SYSTEM WHICH COMPRISES: (1) SUPPORTING A METAL CLADDING LAYER DIRECTLY ABOVE, SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO, AND SEPARETED A DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 0.010 INCH FROM AN EQUI-DIMENSIONAL METAL BASE LAYER, (2) COVERING THE EXPOSED OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE METAL CLADDING LAYER WITH A LAYER OF A FIRST DETONATING EXPLOSIVE, SAID FIRST EXPLOSIVE HAVING A DETONATION VELOCITY OF BETWEEN ABOUT 1200 METERS PER SECOND AND 100% OF THE SONIC VELOCITY OF THE METAL HAVING THE HIGHEST SONIC VELOCITY IN THE SYSTEM, (3) PLACING A LINEAR CHARGE OF A SECOND DETONATING EXPLOSIVE ALONG A MEDIAN LINE EXTENDING ACROSS SAID LAYER OF A FIRST EXPLOSIVE, SAID SECOND EXPLOSIVE ING A DETONATION VELOCITY GREATER THAN THE DETONATION VELOCITY OF SAID FIRST EXPLOSIVE AND LESS THAN 120% OF THE SONIC VELOCITY OF THE METAL HAVING THE HIGHEST SONIC VELOCITY IN THE SYSTEM, AND (4) INITIATING SAID LINEAR CHARGE AT A SINGLE POINT ON SAID CHARGE.
