Carbon steel sheet, bonded with stainless steel sheet on one or both sides to form a stainless steel clad plate. The combination of stainless steel and carbon steel not only provides sufficient strength, but also provides corrosion resistance to the metal.

Production process of stainless steel clad plate

The standard method of producing clad steel is the roll cladding method. Carbon steel and stainless steel form a metallurgical bond during heating and rolling.

Hot roll bonding is a commonly used process in our stainless steel clad plate factory. During this process, clean sheets of carbon steel and stainless steel are placed on each other, (single-sided cladding), or sandwiched between two stainless steel sheets (double-sided cladding). The composite sheets are hot rolled together.

The stainless steel cladding process results in a bond between the two metals. Another manufacturing method is explosive bonding. The metals bond during the explosion due to the plastic deformation of the strong collision. Explosive bonding after the hot rolling process can improve the bond between carbon steel and stainless steel.

Composite stainless steels are used in chemical processes, oil refining, offshore oil production and many other applications. It is also used in generator sets where high temperatures and stress corrosion are present.
