CREATING CLAD MATERIALS USING RESISTANCE SEAM

摘要

A system for creating a clad material that includes at least one substrate; at least one cladding layer; at least one surface activation layer disposed between the at least one substrate and the at least one cladding layer; and a resistance seam welder, wherein the resistance seam welder is operative to generate heat and pressure sufficient to melt the at least one surface activation layer and form a bond between the at least one substrate and the at least one cladding layer when the at least one surface activation layer is cooled.
