CLADDING of steel parts or assemblies with aluminum, through the use of a recently developed process which has been in commercial operation for two years, is described in this paper. Successful plant and field experience indicates that it can be applied at room and elevated temperatures in various types of atmospheres.

In the present social environment, automobile demands further reduction of fuel consumption and light weight. Now that the reduction of vehicle weight is being pursued, even a slight looseness in each element of an automobile may become a source of vibration and noise due to the lowered rigidity of such an automobile. The quietness of vehicles is urged, spline backlash in the spline mechanism exhibits a problem in some cases. A propeller shaft, a part of the automobile driving system, also has a sliding spline mechanism as shown in Fig. 1. Such a propeller shaft is required to have functions of transmitting high torque driving forces, and absorbing the variation of the vehicle driveline overall length at the same time. Vibration and noise are apt to occur if when torque is applied, there is a significant balance fluctuation or great sliding resistance due to spline backlash.
