Cladding of Stainless steel

Cladding of Stainless steel

Cladding of Stainless steel

(OP)
I need to understand the pro's and con's of cladd steel.
Is the cladding can be used as effecient as other SS with respect formability.

RE: Cladding of Stainless steel

Are you talking roll bonded, explosive bonded, or weld overlay?
You can form SS over CS well.  But you don't want to re-heat treat afterward.  you may seriously sensitize your SS and end up with little corrosion resistance.
This might require the selection of a different CS alloy than you would normally use.

RE: Cladding of Stainless steel

Hi Deepsok,

I noted this posting dates back a few months. However the attached booklet will explain a lot of things about Roll Bonded Clad Plates.

Feel free to take a look and revert back with any queries, if you have. As a welding engineer in the past I had handled numerous cladded vessels and exchangers, involving, 304/316/321/347 S.S , Duplex S.S, Incoloy 625/825 and Monel 400 and Nickel-200 alloys, with various substrates,e.g C.S and LAS.

Thanks

RE: Cladding of Stainless steel

You question is a bit vague, as it what do you mean by efficient.  As a general rule if the thickness of your plate is greater than 1/2" (13mm) you should evaluate the cost of using clad plate vs. solid stainless plate.  Clad plate is almost always more cost efficient than solid when the thickness is 3/4" (17mm).   There are not problems with forming properly produced clad plate.

Go to DMC website for great information on explosion bonded plate  http://www.dynamicmaterials.com/home

If you want more specific information you need more specific questions.

RE: Cladding of Stainless steel

Stainless clad carbon or low alloy steels have primarily two advantages over full thickness stailess steel:
1. Much lower cost
2. Resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

It's [roll and explosion bonded forms] primary disadvantage is the long lead time to obtain due to its few suppliers.
