Clad Welding Services for Superior Durability and Performance

You need lasting protection when your equipment operates in extreme conditions—high pressure, corrosive environments, or intense heat. Clad welding strengthens critical components by combining durability with cost efficiency, preventing failures that could lead to downtime or costly repairs. Whether you’re reinforcing pressure vessels, pipelines, or heat exchangers, you deserve expert cladding services that meet the highest industry standards. That’s exactly what Boardman delivers.

What Is Clad Welding?

Clad welding, also known as cladding welding, is a specialized process that applies a protective metal layer to a base material. This weld overlay cladding enhances corrosion resistance, strength, and longevity without sacrificing the structural integrity of the underlying component. By utilizing clad material, industries gain cost-effective solutions that extend equipment life and improve operational efficiency.

Benefits of Clad Welding

Choosing cladding services provides a range of advantages that enhance performance and reduce maintenance costs.

Extended Equipment Life

Protective cladding shields surfaces from extreme conditions, including high temperatures and corrosive environments.

Cost Savings

Maintain structural integrity while reducing material expenses by utilizing industrial cladding services instead of solid high-cost alloys.

Increased Resistance

Protect your equipment against wear, erosion, and chemical exposure, ensuring reliability in high-stress applications and industries.

Versatility

Apply clad welding to pressure vessels, pipelines, heat exchangers, and other critical industrial components.

Industries That Rely on Clad Welding

From manufacturing to energy production, many industries depend on cladding welding for superior protection and performance:

  • Oil and Gas – Prevents corrosion and extends the lifespan of pipelines, pressure vessels, and processing equipment.
  • Chemical Processing – Ensures resistance to highly corrosive substances and extreme temperatures.
  • Power Generation – Enhances components used in nuclear, fossil fuel, and renewable energy applications.
  • Aerospace and Defense – Reinforces structural components that endure high stress and extreme environments.
  • Marine and Offshore – Provides durability for shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and subsea equipment.

Common Use Cases for Cladding Welding

Many critical components benefit from clad welding to improve their efficiency and longevity:

  • Industrial Equipment Repair – Restore and strengthen worn parts to extend their usable life.
  • Pressure Vessels and Tanks – Protect against corrosive materials and high-pressure environments.
  • Pipelines and Piping Systems – Prevent leaks and damage in demanding industrial applications.
  • Heat Exchangers – Improve thermal efficiency and resistance to wear.
  • Valves and Fittings – Reinforce small but vital components used in industrial systems.

“Your engineering team has gone above and beyond for our current projects. We have thrown quite a few changes at them and they have dug into code details that are not normally required to satisfy the requests of some of our SME folks. They are always available, even when they’re off or on weekends to help answer any urgent questions. I tried to find something we can do to help recognize the extra efforts, but could not come up with anything. Thank you for the efforts and willingness to work with us so closely on these urgent jobs.”

“Thank you and everyone at Boardman for an excellent 2 days of training and exceptional hospitality. While it gave me the opportunity to get out of the office for 2 days, it was also a great training/refreshing opportunity for me and on top of it, I got to visit your facility, which I think is quite impressive. Hope to have some more work in your shop soon. There are several folks here who were amazed when I told them that you guys had welding stations set up and each of us got to weld and try out as many as 4 welding processes. Please keep me posted on the next training session.”

“I just wanted to share some photos of the Deisobutonizer being lifted into place yesterday. None of this would have been possible without your efforts in both the manufacturing and transport of the tower. This is the largest structure on the project and you all deserve a lot of credit for this milestone. It was not only a pleasure to work with you all on this fabrication and hauling to site of the monstrosity but it was a privilege to have such a team behind us to make this happen with no incident and what on the surface seemed child’s play. You all should be very proud of yourselves and your collective teams and firms, without you none of this was even conceivable.”
