At present, Central Iron & Steel Research Institute affiliated to Hebei Iron & Steel Group (Hebei Steel) successfully developed stainless steel clad plate. Upon testing, all properties of this product have met international standard.
Stainless steel clad plate is a new metal composite material that combines stainless steel and other ordinary carbon steel with the use of special technology. It reserves such features of stainless steel as corrosion resistance, wearproof, magnetic resistance and specious appearance, possesses such properties of carbon steel as solderability, formability, stretchability as well as thermal conductivity.
Stainless steel clad plate has a wide application in petroleum industry, chemical industry, salt industry, water and electricity industry etc.. As a resource-effective product, it reduced the consumption of precious metal and is a perfect combination of low cost and high quality which is endowed with good social benefits.
After the establishment of Project Team of the Research Institute in 2011, researchers have solved problems of manufacturing technique and application technology in the production of stainless steel clad plate and have reached a series of research results: optimized and developed the composite mechanism and the production process theory of layer metal composite plate, formulated a production technology solution of stainless steel clad medium plate with simplified work, low cost, high productivity, high-quality product as well as stable production.
