A method of forming clad piping or tubing (32)includes the steps of providing a support billet (2), finished to a desired, predetermined dimension, having a cladding surface (4), and providing a CRA cladding material billet (7), similarly finished to a desired, predetermined dimension. The dimension of the CRA cladding material billet (7)is predetermined such that the CRA cladding material fits onto a cladding surface (4)of the support billet (2)establishing an interface gap (100. Sealing the interface gap (10), evacuating the interface gap (10)to form an assembly and Hot Iso-statically Pressing the assembly to metallurgically bond the CRA cladding material billet (7)to the support billet (2)to form a composite billet (1). The composite billet (1) is extruded at high temperature to form the clad piping or tubing (32). The clad piping or tubing (32)formed is also disclosed. |
