Clad alloy substrates and method for making same

摘要

A welded assembly useful in the production of clad products, the welded assembly comprising a plate of a cladding material disposed on a plate of a s substrate material, both the substrate material and the cladding material individually selected from alloys, wherein in the welded assembly a peripheral edge of the plate of the cladding material does not extend to a peripheral edge of the plate of the substrate material and thereby provides a margin between the peripheral edges, and wherein an alloy having hot strength greater than a 10 hot strength of the cladding material is with the margin and entirely surrounds the peripheral edge of the cladding material, and wherein a surface of the material that is within the margin is substantially coplanar with a surface of the cladding material.
