AL 6XN Clad 2:1 Elliptical heads

AL 6XN Clad 2:1 Elliptical heads

AL 6XN Clad 2:1 Elliptical heads

(OP)
is it possible to form a head using carbon steel plate with AL 6XN clad material or is the clad material typically added by welding?  Are there any tank heads manufacturers that do this?  I am getting alot of no quotes.

Thanks.

RE: AL 6XN Clad 2:1 Elliptical heads

Yes it is possible.  The two head fabricators I trust for this particular job would be Brighton in Ohio and Antonius in the Netherlands

In re to MJ note:  DMC makes the clad plate by explosion bonding, but does not make heads.  Ametek makes roll bonded plate, but not heads
