摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of joining metal clad steel structures comprising the steps of a) providing a first metal clad section, said first metal clad section comprising a metal layer over a steel layer, with a bonding layer optionally therebetween, with a portion of said steel layer in an edge region not being covered by said metal layer or said bonding layer, b) providing a second metal clad section, said second metal clad section comprising a metal layer over a steel layer, with a bonding layer optionally therebetween, with a portion of said steel layer in an edge region not being covered by said metal layer or said bonding layer, c) locating said steel edge regions adjacent each other, d) welding the steel edge regions together, and e) cold spraying a metal powder onto the welded edge regions and over the metal layers adjacent said edge regions thereby joining the metal clad steel sections, wherein said metal is selected from Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr, Mo and W.

The present invention is directed to a process for joining tantalum clad steel structures. The process broadly comprises: a) providing a first tantalum clad section, said first tantalum clad section comprising a tantalum layer over a steel layer, with a bonding layer optionally therebetween, with a portion of said steel layer in an edge region not being covered by said tantalum layer or said bonding layer, b) providing a second tantalum clad section, said second tantalum clad section comprising a tantalum layer over a steel layer, with a bonding layer optionally therebetween, with a portion of said steel layer in an edge region not being covered by said tantalum layer or said bonding layer, c) locating said steel edge regions adjacent each other, d) welding the steel edge regions together, e) cold spraying a tantalum powder onto the welded edge regions and over the tantalum layers adjacent said edge regions thereby joining the tantalum clad steel sections. The invention is also directed to tantalum welds or joints formed by cold spraying tantalum powder.

The present invention is directed a molybdenum alloy consisting essentially of a) molybdenum present in a major amount, b) tantalum and tungsten as major metal alloy additions and c) a minor amount of an element selected from the group consisting of boron, hafnium, carbon and mixtures thereof. The invention is also directed to an X-ray tube anode composed of a molybdenum alloy body having a focal track thereon, with the body consisting essentially of the above-described molybdenum alloy.
