<p>A metal alloy is produced by arc melting and atomizing a composite wire consisting of a group of strands of metal wire which is such that at every cross-section the group has the required constituents of the alloy in their correct proportions. The resulting atomized metal alloy is sprayed on a substrate which is maintained at a temperature below that of the spray to promote rapid solidification of the alloy. The substrate may be stationary or moving. The method may be used to produce a metal alloy in forms including strip, sheet, tubes and billets and may be used to form metal alloy coatings on metal or ceramic articles.</p> |
