  • Patent number: 4032243
    Abstract: A wall assembly and method for making the same which consists essentially of a layer of first metallic material and a layer of second metallic material, each layer having one face in a face-to-face contact, either bonded or unbonded relation with a face of the other layer, containing a fusion weld joining two members of the first layer, and fusion welds joining the layer of second material of such member in edge abutting relation to an inlaid insert over a flush insert of second material inset into said first layer so as to provide a relatively smooth surface in the second material of the wall.
