What Is Clad Steel Plate?

 

Clad Steel Plate is a composite steel material produced by metallurgically bonding a corrosion-resistant alloy layer (cladding material) to a carbon steel or low-alloy steel base plate. This combination provides the mechanical strength of the base steel and the corrosion resistance of the cladding, delivering outstanding performance in harsh service environments while remaining cost-effective.

 

Clad steel plates are widely used in pressure vessels, reactors, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and offshore equipment, especially in industries requiring resistance to corrosion, high pressure, and elevated temperatures.
