Introduction of clad plate

Clad steel plate is a composite steel plate, with carbon steel as base material and stainless steel, Titanium or Inconel Alloy as cladding material. The two layer of steel plate is usually bonded by explosion or hot-rolling. With corrosion resistance and cost savings, clad plates have been used as a substitution for solid corrosion resistant alloy. While with corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties, clad plates are more and more used as a new steel material.

Clad plates produced by Baode use the hot roll bonding technique which accounts for the vast majority of clad plate production worldwide. A metallurgical bond between the two materials is achieved in a computer-controlled hot-rolling process. Roll-bonded clad plates are the economic solution for corrosion-resistant applications in refineries, oil and gas production, the chemical industry as well as in power plants and flue gas desulphurisation plants.
