Here, explosion-welded Ti/Al plates are characterized with energy dispersive spectroscopy and x-ray computed tomography, and exhibit smooth, well-jointed, interface. We perform dynamic and quasi-static uniaxial tension experiments on Ti/Al with the loading direction either perpendicular or parallel to the Ti/Al interface, using a mini split Hopkinson tension bar and a material testing system in conjunction with time-resolved synchrotron x-ray imaging. X-ray imaging and strain-field mapping reveal different deformation mechanisms responsible for anisotropic bulk-scale responses, including yield strength, ductility and rate sensitivity. Deformation and fracture are achieved predominantly in Al layer for perpendicular loading, but both Ti and Al layers as well as the interface play a role for parallel loading. The rate sensitivity of Ti/Al follows those of the constituent metals. For perpendicular loading, single deformation band develops in Al layer under quasi-static loading, while multiple deformation bands nucleate simultaneously under dynamic loading, leading to a higher dynamic fracture strain. For parallel loading, the interface impedes the growth of deformation and results in increased ductility of Ti/Al under quasi-static loading, while interface fracture occurs under dynamic loading due to the disparity in Poisson's contraction.
