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. Clad Metals can help reduce total costs by reducing processes and lead time and improving quality.
Double-sided inlay (edge inlay) cladding and double-sided edge inlay cladding is also available upon request.

We manufacture custom clad materials in overlay, inlay, edgelay, and stripe designs according to your desirable width, thickness, distance away from the edge, and numbers of strip.
Clad metals offer the opportunity to combine desirable properties and/or characteristics of individual metals and alloys into a composite materials “system” that brings infinite possibility!
This is a new cladding method that forms a Layer on a base material using the "Cold spray (CS: low-temperature thermal spraying)" technology, in which metal powder is accelerated to supersonic speeds and sprayed in a solid state.
It can be applied to resin and ceramics.
