Abstract
Abstract A process is disclosed for producing a composite in the form of a sheet which involves forming a slurry of a brazing alloy powder and a vehicle, applying the slurry as a pattern or as a layer to a structural substrate, removing the vehicle from the slurry, and melting the alloy uniformly into a homogeneous mass without melting the substrate, and thereafter cooling the same to solidify it into a self supporting sheet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A process for producing a laminate in the form of a sheet, said process comprising: (a) mixing a brazing alloy in powder form with a vehicle to form a slurry, b) applying said slurry to a structural substrate, selected from the group consisting of superalloys, stainless steel, and copper, (c) removing said vehicle from said slurry to form a layer and, (d) melting said layer uniformly into a homogeneous mass without melting the substrate and thereafter cooling said mass to form a solid laminate of said brazing alloy and structural substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A process for producing a laminate in the form of a sheet, said process comprising: (a) mixing a brazing alloy in powder form with a vehicle to form a slurry, b) applying said slurry to a structural substrate, selected from the group consisting of superalloys, stainless steel, and copper, (c) removing said vehicle from said slurry to form a layer and, (d) melting said layer uniformly into a homogeneous mass without melting the substrate and thereafter cooling said mass to form a solid laminate of said brazing alloy and structural substrate.
