Ti-5Ta-2Nb alloy was clad on 304L austenitic stainless steel (SS) using the explosive cladding process. Both Ti-5Ta-2Nb and 304L austenitic steel were severely deformed due to high pressure (in the gigapascal range) and strain rate (10(5)/s), which are characteristics of explosive loading conditions. Consequent changes produced in the microstructure and crystal structure of both the alloys are studied using electron microscopy techniques. The microstructure of both Ti-Ta-Nb alloy and 304L steel showed evidence for the passage of the shock waves in the form of a high number density of lattice defects such as dislocations and deformation twins. In addition, both the alloys showed signatures of phase transformation under nonequilibrium conditions resulting in metastable transformation products. 304L SS showed martensitic transformation to both alpha'(bcc) and epsilon(hcp) phases. Microscopic shear bands, shear band intersections, and twin boundaries were identified as nucleation sites for the formation of strain-induced phases. Ti-Ta-Nb alloy underwent metastable phase transformation to an fcc phase, which could be associated with regions having a specific morphology.
