EXPLOSIA
Explosia a.s. is production and trading company operating in the eld of production of
explosives, ammunition and providing the services, connected with application of energetic
materials for commercial as well as military use.
The company with original name Czechoslovak Joint-Stock Factory for Explosive Materials
was established in 1920, and this year celebrates the 85th anniversary. Name Explosia, used
rst unofcially only, was adopted in 1934. During its existence Explosia has gone through a
number of organizational changes. An important step in modern history of Explosia was the
rise of joint-stock company Explosia in 1998 and its consequent property split-off
from Aliachem a.s. At present time, 100% Explosia a.s. shares are owned by the state.
Explosia a.s. holds an important position in the eld of production of explosives and
propellants not only in the Czech Republic, but it is also an important exporter of propellants,
commercial explosives, ammunition and special pyrotechnic products.
Explosia a.s. produces a wide assortment of qualied commercial explosives for open
pits blasting, explosives designed for underground blasting, special plastic explosives for
military use, smokeless powders for both commercial and military use and a number of
other products, out of which it is possible to mention e.g. modular charges for weapons of
calibre 155 mm, subcalibre ammunition of calibre 125 mm, pyrotechnic components for
aircraft rescue systems, plastic explosives etc.
Research Institute of Industrial Chemistry
Incorporated in Explosia a.s. works the Research Institute of Industrial Chemistry (VPCH),
established in 1954. The institute provides research and development of explosives and
ammunition not only for Explosia a.s. but also for other partners in the Czech Republic
and abroad. Apart from R&D, the results of which are designed for both commercial and
military utilization, VPCH offers also services in the eld of analytical chemistry, testing
and safety engineering of explosives and propellants, short-run production of new energetic
materials and special explosives and production of pyrotechnic components for aircraft
rescue systems.
Products
Research group of VPCH which deals with research and development of new energetic
materials successfully nished laboratory and pilot scale production of energetic materials
as e.g. NTO, TAGN, TNAZ, HNIW, TEX, ATZ, GZT, GA, DMNB etc.
Special explosive products are designed for specic utilization of explosion effects in
various elds. All plastic and exible explosives are marked for preexplosion detection
according to Montreal Convention and are easy to detect by means of the detectors
currently in service.
The activities of explosive welding of metals are concentrated on developing and
manufacturing of explosion-clad bimetallic and multilayer metallic materials. Half-nished
products, structural elements, and components are produced directly in the VPCH or in
cooperation with the respective customer.
Quality Assurance
Quality Management System, as to the extent corresponding with ISO 9001 standard, was
introduced in the company in 1998. Since 2003, after successful passing the re-certication
audit, Explosia a.s. has been the holder of the Certicate according to system standard ISO
9001: 2000 and since 2004 the holder of Certicate of Conformity of Quality System with
AQAP 110 Requirements.

Explosive working of metals
The activities are concentrated on developing and
manufacturing of explosion-clad bimetallic and multilayer
metallic materials. Half-nished products, structural
elements, and components are produced in cooperation
with the customer.
Semi-products for Manufacturing the Tube Plates for Heat
Exchangers
They are produced of structural carbon steels (various types) in combination
with corrosion-resistant steels, copper and copper alloys, titanium, aluminium
and aluminium alloys, nickel and nickel alloys, and the like. The cladding may be
performed on one side or both sides, usually in the whole area.
Bimetallic or Multilayer Sheets
Structural materials for producing the vessels to be used in chemical and
foodstuff engineering are produced in combinations similar to those used for
producing the tube plate semi-products. The multilayer materials are produced
at the option of customer. The achievable material thicknesses are connected
with surface dimension, and the whole problem requires consultations with us.
Bearing Materials
Antifriction alloys (aluminium and tin bronzes) are clad as a sheet (strip) on the
carbon steel. The products are used in manufacturing the bearing shells, guide gibs,
bearing plates, elements for hydraulic-system components, and the like.
Wear Resistant Materials
Hadelds austenitic manganese steel, a classical wear-resistant material, clad with the structural carbon steel can
be welded to steel structures using standard procedures.
Workpieces to be Rolled down
Blooms or billets clad on one or on both sides destined to hot or cold rolling-
down operation are prepared in carbon steel corrosion resistant material,
titanium, copper and copper alloys. The same category comprises further
combinations of various alloys of copper and silver, which are used in electrical
engineering.

Structural Transition Joints
Bimetallic or multilayer parts designed for subsequent fusion welding-in between two materials that are not interweldable by
a standard procedure. The most usual combination comprises the structural carbon steel-aluminium combination for current
supply to electrolyzers, or e.g. for connecting steel ship structure with aluminium deck structure, and further the corrosion
resistant steel copper AlMn1 alloy combination for tube anges in cryogenics. It is possible to prepare the multitubular
adapter too.
Semi-Products for Glass Moulds
They are produced in the shapes of plates, blocks and disks with one side clad with
pure nickel or austenitic high-alloy chromium-nickel steel. The base material is, as
a rule, the structural soft steel. It is possible to combine the resistance of functional
layer with thermal conductivity of the base, which results in substantial savings of nickel and nickel alloys.
Tube to Tube-Plate Explosive Welding and Fixing
Tube to tube-plate explosive welding and xing in various geometrical and material
combinations.
Lining-up of the Socket Pipes and Sheathing of the Rods or the Shafts
Most frequent application is lining-up of the socket
pipes. They are produced of structural carbon steels
of various types in combination with corrosion
resistant steels. The shafts are possible to be sheathed
by bearing materials. Bimetal rods of circular cross
section are possible to be prepared in various material
combinations.
Explosive Hardening of Manganese-Steel Construction Elements
Working the Hadelds steel by virtue of shock wave. In this way strength and
hardness of the metal is increased. The main application is explosive hardening of
cast railway crossing frogs of manganese steel.
