Abstract
Abstract The process of cladding a sheet of aluminum or an alloy thereof with a sheet of titanium or an alloy thereof which comprises the steps of cleaning and removing oxide and other impurities and foreign matter from the surface of the aluminum and titanium sheets to be bonded, pre-heating said aluminum and titanium sheets together at a temperature of from about 500* to 1000*F., bringing the cleaned surfaces into momentary contact under a pressure sufficient to unite the surfaces and to effect a reduction (preferably in one or two passes) of from about 3-50 percent in a resultant composite sheet and post-heating the composite which is formed at a temperature of from about 500* to 1150*F.
