Cladding Materials

The base metals are typicaly carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, copper and aluminium.

The cladding metals are mainly stainless steel, duplex steel, titanium, aluminium, copper, copper alloys, nickel, nickel alloys, tantalum, and zirconium.

Advantages of Explosion Cladding under Vacuum

Short delivery time: complete production under one roof
Excellent process control (no weather influences and circumstances)
Because of vacuum, less explosives are required.
- As results:
  - Less deformation
  - Hardness of the clad plate slightly increase
Costs saving: thin layer of expensive material cladded on a thicker layer of cheap material.
Metal combinations possible which are conventional impossible to weld.
Original metal properties maintain.
Joint/bond stronger than the weakest material.
Oxide free atomic bond
Electrical resistance of anode / cathode blocks nil.
Required clad layer thickness in 1 step realized
Smooth surface after cladding
Intermediate quality control not necessary
