Clad Plates

Our clad plates and heads are mainly used in the chemical and petrochemical industry, oil and gas production, oil sand refining and food industry.

Further applications are desalination plants and flue gas desulphurisation units.

We deliver roll-bonded clad plates for cladded pipes to the oil and gas industry.

Advantages

Roll-bonded clad plates are the economical alternative to expensive high-alloy solid plates. The mechanical properties of the base material and the corrosion resistance of the cladding material result in an optimum combination .

That means:

  • smaller wall thicknesses and better workability compared with solid plates
  • better surface compared with overlay welding
  • more homogeneous bonding and a wider range of dimensions compared with explosion cladding

We deliver both clad shell plates and heads. The benefits for our customers are as following:



  • Advantages in processing: optimum welding properties and workability when using steel from one single source for shell plates as well as heads.
  • Technical support and coordination from one research and quality department.
  • Simultaneous production and delivery of shell plates and heads.
  • Smaller expenditures in purchasing for the customer.

Steel grades and dimensions

Steel grades:

Clad plates consist of base materials and clad materials.

The base materials for our clad plates are made from slabs casted in Linz. Clad materials in slabs or sheets are bought from noteable producers.

For base materials mainly structural steels, pressure vessel steels and fine grain structural steels are used; they have proper weldability and workabilty.

For clad materials we offer ferritic and austentic stainless steels, nickel and nickel-based alloys, copper and copper-nickel-alloys as well as titanium, which are characterized by their corrosion resistance properties.

The surface of the base material is normally "as rolled" or sand blasted.

The surface of the clad material is normally honed. We offer "honed with 80 grit" as a standard. Other surfaces such as not honed or sand blasted are offered on demand.
