Claims
- 1. A process for making an energy transfer laminate product, which comprises the steps of:
- cladding a layer of a first material to a layer of a second material so as to form a multilayer clad laminate;
- finish rolling the laminate to substantially reduce its variation in thickness along a length thereof;
- slitting the laminate to reduce its variation in width along a length thereof;
- profiling a groove in the laminate at a selected location;
- finish slitting a plurality of ribbons from the laminate;
- tension leveling the laminate to straighten and flatten its shape;
- stamping the laminate into sections each of a selected configuration;
- cleaning laminate surfaces; and
- joining the laminate to a substrate material by direct bonding such that the first material layer is annealed to the second.
- 2. The process set forth in claim 1 wherein the cladding step takes place at a relatively low speed to minimize rolling friction.
