Clad Expertise Metal AMETEK's Specialty Metal Products Division has been a leader in developing the technology of roll bonding dissimilar metals for more than three decades. The advantage of clad materials is that the end product combines the superior peropterties of each metal--strength, thermal and electric conductivity, corrosion resistance, lightweight, lower cost--to produce a material superior to that of any of the individual metals taken alone.
Clad metals produced by our own specialized roll bond technology combine two or more metals into a single sheet or plate that can be cut, welded or formed into a finished part ranging from expensive gourmet cookware to large chemical processing chambers or pressure vessels. We specialize in cladding stainless steel to aluminum and stainless steel or high nickel alloys to carbon steel.
Because of the new properties offered by clad metals, and the wide variety of cladding and backing materials available today, these metals can be combined to make custom materials for a wide range of demanding industries, including health, chemical and petroleum processing, paper and pulp, food and food processing.
If the problem is unique, then the solution could well be a clad metal. In all cases, clad metals provide combinations oif properties and advantages not available in monolithic metals.
