Application of Nb/Steel Refractory Metal Clad Plate
Niobium/steel composite plate has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, shipbuilding, power electronics, and other fields. In the aerospace field, niobium/steel-clad plates are used to manufacture high-temperature structural parts, such as engine nozzles, guides, and combustion chambers. Due to its high temperature and corrosive environment, it needs to have high oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Niobium/steel-clad plates can meet these requirements and are, therefore, widely used in these fields. In the petrochemical industry, niobium/steel composite plates are used to manufacture high-temperature pipes, valves, pump casings, and other equipment. These devices need to withstand high temperatures and corrosive media, and the niobium/steel-clad plate has excellent corrosion resistance and high oxidation resistance, which can meet these requirements. In the field of ship manufacturing, niobium/steel composite plates are used to manufacture essential parts such as hulls, plates, sterns, and propellers of ships. These parts need to withstand high pressure and corrosive media, and the niobium/steel-clad plate has excellent corrosion resistance and high strength and toughness, which can meet these requirements.
Applications of Nb/Steel Refractory Metal Clad Plate
Grade of Nb/Steel Refractory Metal Clad Plate
The grade of Nb/Steel refractory metal clad plate is Nb&Nb alloy/all kinds of Steel.
Standard of Nb/Steel Refractory Metal Clad Plate
ASTM B898.
Production Method of Nb/Steel Refractory Metal Clad Plate
Niobium/steel clad plates are typically produced using explosion bonding or roll bonding. In explosion bonding, a high-energy explosion forces the niobium and 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 techniques need surface area prep work (cleansing and degreasing) to ensure ideal attachment. Post-bonding, home plates might go through warmth therapy to boost bond toughness and mechanical residential or commercial properties. These approaches guarantee exceptional bonding top quality, rust resistance, and architectural stability for commercial applications.

Storage Condition of Nb/Steel Refractory Metal Clad Plate
Niobium/steel-clad 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 and performance.
