Abstract

A method of producing a metallic body provided with a metallic cladding includes the steps of providing a hollow body including a bottom wall and a lateral wall that presents an inner space, filling the space with a metallic cladding material that will form the cladding, positioning the hollow body in a metallic capsule, closing the metallic capsule and evacuating air from the interior of the latter, and applying an elevated pressure and an elevated temperature on the outside of the capsule, such that the cladding material is bonded to the hollow body. The capsule is coaxial with the hollow body and has a lateral inner periphery that has a shape and dimension that corresponds to the shape and dimension of the outer lateral periphery of the hollow body. The hollow body with the core therein is formed in a machining operation in which material is removed from a blank of a solid piece of metal material.

First claim

1 . A method of producing a metallic body ( 14 ) provided with a metallic cladding ( 13 ), comprising the following steps:
providing a hollow body including a bottom wall, a core extending from the bottom wall, and a lateral wall that presents an inner space; filling said space with a metallic cladding material that will form said cladding; positioning the hollow body in a metallic capsule; closing the metallic capsule and evacuating air from the interior of the latter; and applying an elevated pressure and an elevated temperature on the outside of said capsule such that said cladding material is bonded to said hollow body, wherein said capsule is coaxial with the hollow body and has a lateral inner periphery that has a shape and dimension that corresponds to the shape and dimension of an outer lateral periphery of said hollow body, said hollow body with the core therein being formed in a machining operation in which material is removed from a blank of a solid piece of metal material, wherein after said application of elevated pressure and elevated temperature, a final body, formed by the hollow body and the cladding material, is subjected to a machining operation, in which one first part of the hollow body is removed and the cladding material is exposed as a cladding on a second part of the hollow body, wherein said first part includes the lateral wall of the hollow body and that said second part of the hollow body includes the core that extends from the bottom wall of the hollow body.

2 . A method according to claim 1 , a ratio between an inner diameter of the capsule and an outer diameter of said hollow body, defined as Dcapsule/Dhollow body is in the range of 1-1.15.

3 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the capsule is elongated and has a length which is a plurality of the length of the hollow body, and that a plurality of hollow bodies are stapled on each other inside the capsule before the latter is closed.

4 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic cladding material with which said space is filled is a metallic powder.

5 . A method according to claim 4 , wherein said metallic powder is pre-pressed before the hollow body is closed.

6 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic cladding material with which said space is filled is a solid body that has a shape and size corresponding to the shape and size of said space.

7 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic body produced by means of said method is a nozzle.

8 . A method according to claim 7 , wherein said nozzle is an injector nozzle for diesel engines.
