Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A method for producing a compound material for operating temperatures of from about 1250° to about 1350° C., which comprises the steps of (a) arranging adjacent generally parallel with and spaced from a layer of refractory material a layer of a high-temperature-resistant super alloy selected from the group consisting of nickel, iron and chromium base alloys; and (b) detonating a layer of an explosive charge adjacent the alloy layer to explosively plate the same upon the layer of refractory material, thereby to produce a joined laminate including a base plate formed of refractory material and a parallel coat plate formed of a high-temperature-resistant base alloy, the layer of explosive charge being so dimensioned and arranged as to produce a collision velocity (V K ) of alloy layer of from about 2700 to about 3500 m/sec. and a collision angle (β) of from about 15° to about 25°.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
147 words
A method for producing a compound material for operating temperatures of from about 1250° to about 1350° C., which comprises the steps of (a) arranging adjacent generally parallel with and spaced from a layer of refractory material a layer of a high-temperature-resistant super alloy selected from the group consisting of nickel, iron and chromium base alloys; and (b) detonating a layer of an explosive charge adjacent the alloy layer to explosively plate the same upon the layer of refractory material, thereby to produce a joined laminate including a base plate formed of refractory material and a parallel coat plate formed of a high-temperature-resistant base alloy, the layer of explosive charge being so dimensioned and arranged as to produce a collision velocity (V K ) of alloy layer of from about 2700 to about 3500 m/sec. and a collision angle (β) of from about 15° to about 25°.
