Zusammenfassung:The present invention is directed to a method of joining metal clad steel structures comprising the steps of a) providing a first metal clad section, said first metal clad section comprising a metal layer over a steel layer, with a bonding layer optionally therebetween, with a portion of said steel layer in an edge region not being covered by said metal layer or said bonding layer, b) providing a second metal clad section, said second metal clad section comprising a metal layer over a steel layer, with a bonding layer optionally therebetween, with a portion of said steel layer in an edge region not being covered by said metal layer or said bonding layer, c) locating said steel edge regions adjacent each other, d) welding the steel edge regions together, and e) cold spraying a metal powder onto the welded edge regions and over the metal layers adjacent said edge regions thereby joining the metal clad steel sections, wherein said metal is selected from Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr, Mo and W.
