摘要 | A continuous process for cladding a metal core rod with a dissimilar metal sheath. Contaminants are removed from the periphery of a moving length of core rod. While the core rod is maintained contaminant-free, a thin annular sheath of cladding metal is extrusion bonded around the periphery of the core rod to produce a clad rod suitable for subsequent drawing into wire without the need for sintering, metal removal or other finishing operations on the clad rod. | ||||||
权利要求 | 2. The process of claim 1 wherein said core rod is aluminum and said cladding metal is tin. 3. The process of claim 1 wherein said cladding metal is applied by being annularly extruded around said core rod. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein said contaminants are removed by being rotary milled from the Periphery of said core rod. 5. The process of claim 4 wherein said cladding metal is applied by being annularly extruded around said core rod. 6. The process of claim 1 wherein said contaminants are removed by being initially scored and subsequently rotary milled from the periphery of said core rod. 7. The process of claim 4 wherein the extrusion step is performed less than one second after the rotary milling step is performed. 8. The process of claim 1 wherein said core rod is maintained contaminant-free by preventing air from contacting the peripheral surface of said core rod. 9. The process of claim 1 wherein said core rod is maintained contaminant-free by completely surrounding said rod with a non-oxidizing gas. 10. The process of claim 1 wherein said solid phase roll bonding reduces the diameter of said clad rod by approximately 10 to 35 percent. 11. The process of claim 3 wherein said thin annular sheath of cladding metal is heated to a molten state prior to being extruded around said core rod. 12. The process of claim 3 wherein said thin annular sheath of cladding metal is maintained in a solid, plastic state prior to being extruded around said core rod. |
