  • Method of producing nickel-alloy honeycomb panels
    Patent number: 5135156
    Abstract: A method for pre-oxidizing a nickel alloy honeycomb core by heating the core while exposing the core to a controlled flow of an oxygen containing gas, such as dry air. The preoxidized core can be brazed in a vacuum furnace to two face sheets to manufacture a honeycomb panel using thin foil brazing material. The methods of preoxidation and panel production for Inconel 718, Rene' 41 and Inconel 625 are specifically described.
