In this study, the energy deposited at the welding interface was controlled by changing the stand-off between the flyer and base plates. Pure titanium (TP 270C) and duplex stainless steel (SUS 821L1) were welded under 5- and 15-mm stand-offs, respectively. When the stand-off was 5 mm, the average wavelength and average amplitude of the welding interface were 271 and 61 μm, respectively; at 15 mm stand-off, the average wavelength and average amplitude of the welding interface were 690 and 192 μm, respectively. The differences between the two welding conditions were compared using a tensile test, fracture analysis, a 90° bending test, Vickers hardness, and nanoindentation related to the mechanical properties of materials. The experimental results indicated that the sample with a 5-mm stand-off had better mechanical properties.
