Abstract
Abstract A method for producing a metallic interface suitable for overlaying consists of exposing the area of an alloy combination to be overlayed to a temperature above its lower critical until an element reduced zone arises. This element reduced zone more easily accepts element diffusion that takes place during overlaying. Accordingly, an improved interface, one that is more ductile and less prone to cracking, is produced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of producing an improved metallurgical bond between steel or a steel alloy and a different steel or steel alloy or a metal system, consisting essentially of: heating the bonding surface of at least one of the steel or steel alloys to be bonded to a temperature above its lower critical temperature for a time sufficient to form an element reduced zone; and bonding the heated steel or the steel alloy to the different steel or steel alloy or the metal system.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of producing an improved metallurgical bond between steel or a steel alloy and a different steel or steel alloy or a metal system, consisting essentially of: heating the bonding surface of at least one of the steel or steel alloys to be bonded to a temperature above its lower critical temperature for a time sufficient to form an element reduced zone; and bonding the heated steel or the steel alloy to the different steel or steel alloy or the metal system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the bonding is done by hot isostatic pressing.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
93 words
A method for producing an improved metallurgical bond between a 21/2 Cr-1Mo alloy steel system, which has a known lower critical temperature, and Inconel 625 comprising the steps of: heating the surface of said 21/2 Cr-1Mo alloy steel system to a temperature above said known lower critical temperature for said 21/2 Cr-1Mo steel system, maintaining said heating until an element reduced zone is caused to form immediately beneath said surface of said 21/2 Cr-1Mo alloy steel system; and cladding by hot isostatic pressing said Inconel 625 to said 21/2 Cr-1Mo alloy steel system.
