Dressed in elaborate white terra-cotta cladding with colored window spandrels, the building is noted for its ornate, expansive lobby.
Light is the enemy of art, so the street facade is a mixture of cladding with white-painted concrete and only exiguous daylight-openings.
The laser cladding was compared with commercially available plasma cladding with wire.
Of concern are its plutonium containing metal fuel elements which are enclosed in stainless steel cladding with gas space filled with helium argon gas and welded air tight.
Using a co-axial EPD, titanium was successfully deposited uniformly on the inner surfaces of 12″ length of cladding with 4 mm inner diameter.
In the paper approximated examples of the use of the electron beam are given by the welding, rapid prototyping, texturing surface, cladding with wire and powder as well as alloying.
The microstructure and corrosion behavior of commercial alloy ZE41 modified by surface laser cladding with Al Si powder mixture was studied by SEM, TEM, X-ray diffrandion and electrochemical methods.
Developing overlays cladding with desired properties on the surface of these steels seems to be the best way to increase the corrosion and wear resistances of low carbon steels.
Two concepts were evaluated: (1) coating the exterior of zirconium-alloy cladding with thin ceramics to limit the zirconium available for reaction with high-temperature steam; (2) replacing zirconium alloys with alternative materials possessing slower oxidation kinetics and reduced hydrogen production.
The range of laser surface processes applied to light alloys includes simple remelting of the alloy surface; remelting with the addition of alloying elements or ceramic particles; cladding with a layer of material having different properties; and shock processing to create residual stresses in the surface.
Scanning electron micrograph images of the cross-section of a green fiber visualize the concentric multilayer cladding with 80 periods wrapped around the core glass fiber.
