Method of diffusion bonding duplex sheet cladding to superalloy substrates

摘要

A method of applying a duplex sheet cladding to a structural substrate is disclosed. The method utilizes hot isostatic pressure with molten glass as a pressure transmitting medium. An inner sheet cladding of aluminum is formed over the substrate and then an outer MCrAlY sheet cladding is assembled thereon which completely envelops and seals the inner cladding. Thereafter the duplex cladding is diffusion bonded to the substrate at elevated pressures and temperatures in accordance with a programmed time-temperature hot isostatic pressure cycle.
