Clad Metal

If there was one metal that could provide all the properties we were looking for, the design possibilities would be endless. However, the reality is that there are many limitations to what just one metal can provide.

Clad metals offer entirely new materials by combining two or more metals that can uniquely meet any need for a specific product design. This enables design engineers to implement their concepts. But what is a composite material?

Cladding is a process in which at least two different types of metals are joined together to form an inseparable “laminate” material. This roll bonding and heat treatment process produces metallurgical bonds when the lattice structures of metals are forced to conformance with each other. The high pressure causes electron sharing at the interface to create bonds at the atomic level. No intermediate layers of other materials are involved.

The main production process can be hot-rolled cladding, cold-rolled cladding or explosive welding. After going through these production processes, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that what you once thought impossible to create suddenly becomes possible.
