摘要:
A composite clad structure and method of producing same that is resistant to both chemical corrosion and ignition, including a metal base with an attached reactive metal component, such as titanium or zirconium, that resists initial ignition and has improved ability to arrest burning of the reactive metal, once started. The composite structure comprises a structural base layer such as carbon, low alloy, or stainless steel, an intermediate layer of high thermal conductivity metal such as copper, aluminum, silver and their alloys clad to the structural base layer and a corrosion resistant layer of reactive metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium and their alloys that is clad to the intermediate layer.
摘要:
A method of laminating a plurality of metal plates one to another, comprising steps of (a) arranging at least first and second generally planar metal plates having exposed surfaces into a spaced apart parallel relationship with one another, (b) anchoring the spaced apart plates to a fixed location, and (c) propelling a projectile against the exposed surface of the first plate with sufficient velocity to create a spot impact between the first and second plates of sufficient energy to create a metallurgical weld between the plates at the point of projectile impact.
