Brazed corrosion resistant lined equipment

A wall assembly having a first structural layer of metal selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel, and cobalt base metals and alloys thereof, a comparatively thin second layer of a corrosion resistant metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, tantalum, columbium, vanadium, and fabricatable and weldable alloys thereof, and said second layer at least in part overlying said first layer, the improvement comprising said second layer having a hole therethrough, said second layer extending in the range between said hole and the end of said flange at least ten inches outwardly beyond the entire periphery of said hole, at least a portion of one face of said second layer being united by a brazing alloy to a face of an adjacent portion of said first layer essentially throughout an area within said range and extending at least ten inches outwardly beyond the entire periphery of said hole, said second layer having at least one convolution encircling said hole and in said portion of said second layer having said one face brazed to said face of said adjacent portion of said first layer, said second layer being brazed to said first layer immediately adjacent both sides of said convolution, and said hole and said convolution being present in said second layer prior to the brazing of said one face of said second layer to said face of said adjacent portion of said first layer such that said second layer, when brazed to said first layer, remains united to said first layer without wrinkling, buckling, puckering, or separating of said second layer, both when said wall assembly is initially cooled after brazing from its brazing temperature to an ambient temperature and if subsequently raised to an elevated temperature of about 200.degree.
