Metal clad plates are composite materials made by bonding together two or more different metals, usually through a process called explosive welding. The resulting structure typically consists of three zones.
1. The outer layer or cladding, which is made of a more corrosion-resistant material such as stainless steel, copper, aluminum, or titanium. This layer provides protection against corrosion, abrasion, and other harsh environmental factors.
2. The inner layer or base metal, which can be any common engineering metal or alloy, such as carbon steel, low alloy steel, or aluminum. This layer provides the strength and stiffness required for the specific application.
3. The interface or bonding layer is formed during the explosive welding process, where the two metals are forced together at high velocity and high pressure, causing them to weld together by atomic bonding. This layer is relatively thin and acts as a metallurgical bond between the cladding and the base metal, providing the mechanical strength required to resist shear and peel forces.
The metal composite plate is made of stainless steel plate as the cladding layer, carbon steel plate, container plate, low alloy steel, etc. Its products are widely used in petrochemical, electric power equipment, grain processing, alkali making, nitrate making, salt making, sugar making, water conservancy, paper making, and other industries.
Advantages of metal composite plates, the cost of metal composite plates is much lower than the price of pure stainless steel of the same specification; it has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high thermal conductivity of stainless steel; and it has good welding performance and high strength of carbon steel. The metal composite board includes the bottom layer and the double layer. The bottom layer is a two-layer pure aluminum plate or aluminum alloy plate with a thickness of 0.4-3.5 mm; the double layer is a layer of stainless steel plate with a thickness of 0.3-1.5 mm; The total thickness is 1.2 to 4.5 mm.
The entire metallurgical contact state formed by heating and pressing the interface of each layer has the characteristics of a strong composite layer interface, high tensile strength, and good elongation performance. It is a multi-purpose metal composite material, suitable for making cookware and other related purposes. This kind of metal composite board not only maintains the characteristics of the original metal composite board, but also is suitable for electromagnetic cookers and general cookers, and can be used for various surface decoration and protection treatments on the cooker surface to obtain different functions.
