The explosive welding is applicable in a wide variety of thicknesses, thermal, and mechanical properties, which has different applications. In this paper, Aluminum base composite as reinforcement with Steel Ck75 wire was manufactured by explosive welding. The Steel Ck75 wires were placed between two Aluminum plates. The Steel Ck75 wire was used to increase the strength of the Aluminum base composite. The parameters of the process were evaluated in detail. The excellent bonding quality of the interface without void can be represented in light microscope images. The weldability window and the simulation with the experimental data confirmed the fact that material and process parameters were well selected. The tensile tests showed that the reinforced composite showed higher strength than the unreinforced composite of about 8%.
