Clad Metals are the materials consisting of two or more different metals bonded together. It is a highly functional metal material with composite properties that cannot be obtained with a single material.
In Clad Metals, the boundary surfaces between dissimilar metals are diffusion bonded (alloyed by elemental diffusion), so there is less concern about delamination as in plating.
The main features of Clad Metals:
(1) Various combinations are possible
(2) High flexibility in thickness ratio of base material and cladding material
(3) Multi-layer lamination is possible, not limited to two layers.
(4) Striped inlay cladding is also available.
Clad Metals can help reduce total costs by reducing processes and lead time and improving quality.
