Metal clad plate refers to the board covered with another metal, which saves resources and reduces cost without reducing the use effect (anti-corrosion performance, mechanical strength, etc.).
The cladding methods usually include explosive cladding, explosive rolling cladding, rolling cladding, and so on.
The composite material can be divided into composite plates, composite pipes, composite bars, etc., according to its appearance.

Properties of Nickel Clad Stainless Steel Plate

Nickel-plated stainless steel plate is a layer of nickel metal deposited on the surface of stainless steel by the electroplating process, so it has the following characteristics:
Corrosion resistance: nickel-plated stainless steel plate has good corrosion resistance, especially to corrosion of acidic media such as chloride ions, and can maintain long-term corrosion resistance in marine, industrial, and urban environments.
Decorative: nickel-plated stainless steel plate has a bright and clean surface with good metallic texture, which can present an elegant and noble temperament. It is widely used in various decorative fields.
Easy processing: nickel-plated stainless steel plate can be cut, bent, welded, and other processing operations like stainless steel, and the surface will not be affected.
High-temperature performance: nickel-plated stainless steel plate has good high-temperature performance, can be used at higher temperatures, and high-temperature strength and creep properties are also good.Radiation resistance: nickel-plated stainless steel plate has a specific protective effect on X-ray and γ-ray so it can be used for manufacturing medical equipment and nuclear industry equipment

 Applications of Nickel Clad Stainless Steel Plate

 

Production Method of Nickel Clad Stainless Steel Plate

Nickel-clad stainless steel plates are typically produced using explosion bonding or roll bonding. In explosion bonding, a high-energy explosion forces the nickel and stainless 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 methods require surface preparation (cleansing and degreasing) to ensure ideal adhesion. Post-bonding, the plates might undergo warmth therapy to boost bond toughness and mechanical residential or commercial properties. These methods ensure superb bonding quality, rust resistance, and architectural honesty for commercial applications.

 Storage Condition of Nickel Clad Stainless Steel Plate

Nickel-clad stainless steel plates should be stored in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture absorption and corrosion. The 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.
