Abstract:
1. A fluid vessel comprising: a tubular body structure defining a cavity, the body structure including an overlay material surrounding the cavity, and including a metal substrate surrounding the overlay material; a tubular inlet structure defining a first channel, the first channel in fluid communication with the cavity, the inlet structure including an overlay material surrounding the first channel, and including a metal substrate surrounding the overlay material; a tubular outlet structure defining a second channel, the second channel in fluid communication with the cavity, the outlet structure including an overlay material surrounding the second channel, and including a metal substrate surrounding the overlay material; wherein the overlay material of each of the body structure, the inlet structure, and the outlet structure is fused to the respective metal substrate of the body structure, the inlet structure, and the outlet structure through laser cladding; wherein the inlet structure and outlet structure are each joined to the body structure through a layered weld; wherein at least one of the tubular inlet structure and the tubular outlet structure is transverse to the tubular body structure; and wherein the metal substrate includes iron in an amount that is greater than or equal to about 90 to 95 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the metal substrate.
