Fluid vessel with abrasion and corrosion resistant interior cladding

摘要

A fluid vessel includes a body structure defining a cavity, an inlet structure defining a first channel, and an outlet structure defining a second channel. The body structure includes an overlay material surrounding the cavity, and includes a metal substrate surrounding the overlay material. The first channel and second channel are provided in fluid communication with the cavity. The inlet structure and outlet structure each include an overlay material surrounding the respective first channel and second channel, and include a metal substrate surrounding the respective overlay material. The overlay material of each of the body structure, the inlet structure, and the outlet structure is fused to the respective metal substrate of the body structure, the inlet structure, and the outlet structure through laser cladding.
