How Is Stainless Steel Clad Plate Made?

Stainless steel clad plate is a composite steel plate made by bonding stainless steel to either or both sides of a carbon steel or low-alloy steel. The process involves combining the necessary strength of a structural material (base metal) with the resistance to heat and corrosion (cladding material) to produce a superior material. The bonding of the metals together creates a far superior material that combines the properties of each metal to produce a better and higher-performing product. Additionally, clad steel plates are available in wider and longer dimensions, and they offer excellent dimensional accuracy.
Therefore, stainless steel clad plates can be used in various industries, including construction, shipbuilding, and the manufacture of certain types of industrial tanks, offering a cost-effective solution for these applications.
