Abstract: The inventions disclosed by this application are for a cladding apparatus, a cladding head, and a method of cladding a relatively planar solid object such as a boiler waterwall. Cladding of non-horizontal surfaces is complicated by the effects of gravity as melted clad material trends to runoff the surface before the cladding material bonds to the appropriate location. The disclosed inventions overcome these limitations by controlling the relative angle of application by either rotating the workpiece or the cladding head through a pre-programmed sequence. Also presented in a compact design for a laser cladding head that facilitates such cladding by minimizing movement of the laser fiber and improves cladding speed over irregular shaped objects.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for joining initially separate members of different metallic materials, e.g., as in joining segments of a multi-segment intravascular guide wire, as well as multi-segment intravascular guide wires so formed. Initially separate members are provided, which members comprise different metallic materials relative to one another (e.g., stainless steel and nitinol). The members are aligned with one another, and a first force is applied to the members while delivering electrical current through the members to solid state weld the separate members to one another. A follow up force that is greater than the first force is applied as solid-state deformation occurs and a weld nugget forms between the members. The weld nugget so formed is thinner and of a larger transverse cross-sectional area than would be produced without application of the follow up force.

The karstified topography is marked by: a microstructure with a maximum peak height minus a maximum profile depth greater than 0.5 μm; a surface roughness, of at least 0.2 μm, and an oxygen at. % of 5 or less, is shown to have advantageous use as a high surface area metallic electrochemical interface. The foil may be composed of Al, Ti, Ni, Cu, stainless steel or an alloy or mixture of one or more of the above, and may have a coating consisting of Ni, Ti, C, any alloy of the above, nickel oxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, indium tin oxide, or a mixture of carbon and any one or more of the above. Karstifying the metal foil, involves retaining the foil within a vacuum chamber; evacuating the chamber to a pressure less than 7×10−3 Pa, and applying a high power laser radiation to the surface, the radiation having an radiance sufficient to ablate the metal, leaving the karstified topography on the metal foil.
