Overview of Copper Clad Stainless Steel

Stainless steel clad carbon steel plate is a new composite material made using stainless steel plate and carbon steel plate for hot rolled composite. This composite material combines the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and the strength and hardness of carbon steel, and at the same time, has good thermal conductivity and aesthetic appearance and is widely used in various fields. It can be used in such fields as architectural decoration engineering, automobile manufacturing, mechanical equipment manufacturing, medical equipment manufacturing, and electronic equipment manufacturing. Due to its stable and reliable performance, long service time, and low maintenance cost, stainless steel clad carbon steel plate has become one of the preferred materials in many industries. Stainless steel/Carbon steel has both the excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel and the high strength and low cost of traditional structural steel. Applying Stainless steel/Carbon steel in steel structure engineering has remarkable advantages, such as better comprehensive mechanical properties, shorter simple construction cycles, longer design service life, lower life cycle cost, and higher comprehensive social benefits, etc., especially suitable for engineering structures with high corrosion resistance.

Features of stainless steel clad carbon steel plate

Excellent corrosion resistance: Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance; stainless steel clad carbon steel plate retains this feature. In a corrosive environment, the surface of stainless steel will form a passivation film, which can prevent the intrusion of corrosive media, thus effectively protecting the carbon steel plate from corrosion.

High strength and hardness: Carbon steel plates have high strength and hardness, an important part of a stainless steel-clad carbon steel plate. Stainless steel-clad carbon steel plates retain the high strength and hardness of carbon steel plates but also have good flexibility and processing performance, making them more reliable in various complex applications.

Good thermal conductivity: Stainless steel has good thermal conductivity, which is retained in stainless steel clad carbon steel sheets. This makes it suitable for manufacturing parts that transfer or dissipate heat, such as radiators and heaters.

Beautiful appearance: Stainless steel has a metallic luster and gorgeous appearance; stainless steel clad carbon steel plate is also lovely and suitable for various decorative and landscaping environments.
Environmental protection and energy saving: Stainless steel clad carbon steel plate can be recycled and reused, with environmental protection and energy-saving characteristics, in line with society’s current requirements for sustainable development.

 Applications of Stainless Steel Clad Carbon Steel Plate

Production Method of Stainless Steel Clad Carbon Steel Plate

Stainless steel-clad carbon steel plates are typically produced using explosion bonding or roll bonding. In explosion bonding, a high-energy explosion forces the stainless steel and carbon steel layers together under extreme pressure, creating a strong metallurgical bond at the interface. In roll bonding, the metals are heated and passed through rollers under high pressure to achieve bonding. Both approaches need surface area prep work (cleaning and degreasing) to guarantee optimum attachment. Post-bonding, the plates might undertake warmth treatment to improve bond strength and mechanical homes. These methods guarantee superb bonding quality, deterioration resistance, and architectural honesty for industrial applications.

Storage Condition of Stainless Steel Clad Carbon Steel Plate

Storage Conditions for Stainless Steel Clad Carbon Steel Plate:

Stainless steel-clad carbon steel plates should be stored in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture absorption and corrosion. Ideal storage temperature is between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Avoid exposure to high humidity, direct sunlight, or corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, or salt spray. Use protective packaging (e.g., VCI film or desiccants) to shield the plates from oxidation and contamination. Store them horizontally on flat racks or pallets to avoid deformation and ensure proper airflow. Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion, especially at the edges or bonding interface. Proper storage ensures the material retains its structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and performance.
