Steel Industry Glossary › Clad PlateWhat are the benefits and standards of clad plates in industrial applications? Clad plates are composite materials combining different metals, providing benefits like corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness. They comply with standards such as ASTM A265 and ASME BPVC Section VIII, ensuring high performance in demanding conditions. Typically used in chemical processing and offshore applications, clad plates offer field-proven to 65,000 hrs at 540°C in HX service and enhanced material properties, making them ideal for various industrial needs.
Clad Plate A composite plate consisting of a base metal (usually carbon steel) bonded with a corrosion-resistant alloy layer (stainless steel, nickel alloy) for cost-effective corrosion protection.
