Product Introduction
Clad steel plates are advanced composite materials that combine two or more different metals, offering enhanced performance for a range of industrial applications. These plates are produced through either roll-bonding or explosion-bonding, which fuses the materials at a molecular level. This combination creates a material that boasts superior strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance compared to single-metal plates. Widely used in the oil and gas, chemical, nuclear, aerospace, and marine engineering industries, the steel plates provide a durable and cost-effective solution to various industrial challenges.

Manufacturing Techniques
Clad steel sheets are produced by bonding a layer of one material, typically a corrosion-resistant metal, to the surface of a more cost-effective and durable base steel. This composite material combines the best properties of both metals, offering strength, durability, and resistance to harsh environments. Several advanced bonding techniques are employed to ensure a strong and lasting bond between the layers, including:
Explosive Bonding
Explosive bonding is an energy-intensive process that uses controlled explosions to create a strong, metallurgical bond between the base steel and the cladding material. The explosive force drives the materials into a high-speed collision, ensuring that they fuse without the need for melting.
Pre-Bonding Setup: The base material and the cladding are carefully cleaned and positioned to align them properly before the explosive charge is placed.
Detonation: An explosive charge is detonated between the two materials, causing them to collide at high velocity.
Bond Formation: The force of the explosion ensures the materials form a robust, seamless bond.
This method is ideal for creating clad steel sheets that need to withstand high stresses, aggressive chemicals, or extreme environments, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications like heat exchangers and pressure vessels.
Roll Bonding
Roll bonding is a cold-rolling process where the steel and cladding are passed through a series of rollers under high pressure. This pressure is sufficient to bond the two layers together, producing a solid, cohesive sheet.
Cleaning and Preparation: Both the steel and cladding are thoroughly cleaned to remove any contaminants that could interfere with the bonding.
Roller Application: The materials are passed through rollers, applying extreme pressure to join them permanently. Multiple passes through the rollers may be necessary to ensure a complete bond.
Uniform Bond: The result is a smooth, uniform layer of cladding fused securely to the steel substrate.
Roll bonding is commonly used for producing large sheets and plates, particularly for industries that require a strong bond but do not need the extreme strength offered by explosive welding.
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)
Hot Isostatic Pressing involves placing the steel and cladding in a high-pressure, high-temperature environment. This method uses both heat and pressure to achieve a diffusion bond between the materials, providing a high-quality, durable product.
Enclosing and Sealing: The steel and cladding are carefully arranged in a sealed container before the HIP process begins.
Pressurization and Heating: The container is exposed to high heat and pressure, causing the materials to fuse at the atomic level.
Bond Integrity: The resulting bond is exceptionally strong, with excellent resistance to fatigue and wear.
HIP is ideal for manufacturing high-performance clad steel sheets for critical applications such as aerospace components, industrial machinery, and high-pressure vessels.
Key Benefits and Features
Superior Corrosion Resistance: The cladding material, often stainless steel or another corrosion-resistant metal, offers excellent protection against rust, chemicals, and environmental degradation. This makes clad steel sheets ideal for applications in harsh environments, including offshore structures and chemical processing plants.
Enhanced Mechanical Properties: The combination of the base steel’s strength with the cladding’s protective properties provides a material that is both durable and resistant to mechanical wear, making these sheets suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Cost-Effective: By combining a relatively inexpensive base material with a corrosion-resistant cladding, clad steel sheets offer an economical solution that doesn't compromise on performance, significantly lowering the overall cost of materials.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance: The cladding layer offers enhanced resistance to heat and chemicals, making these sheets suitable for applications involving exposure to high temperatures or aggressive chemicals.
Improved Longevity: The corrosion-resistant cladding extends the lifespan of the steel, reducing the need for maintenance or replacement and improving the overall cost-effectiveness of the material over time.
Customization: Clad steel sheets can be tailored to meet specific needs, with options for varying thicknesses, surface treatments, and cladding materials, ensuring optimal performance in a wide range of industries.
