When your project requires the qualities of more than one metal, you can get the best of both worlds with clad material fabrication. That means if you need superior strength, cost effectiveness, and dependable performance, you can have it! Why compromise? You can get the cladding welding, the clad materials—and the stewardship to see your project to successful completion—all at Boardman.
Whether you decide on using clad material in your fabrication project based on your industry’s standards or on our engineering department’s recommendation, your finished product can have these added benefits, as applicable:
Clad metals are made from multiple metals or alloys with very different properties. They’re metallurgically bonded for benefits that would otherwise be unattainable.
The first recorded use of clad material can be traced back to the 1930s when railroad tanks were constructed from bonded carbon steel and nickel to facilitate the safe transport of caustic chemicals.
In modern times, a variety of clad materials are commonly used in these industries, to name a few:
Do you work in an industry not mentioned here? Do you require ASME pressure vessel or trayed tower and column fabrication? How about custom fabrication, including heavy plate rolling? If clad materials or clad welding procedures are called for, it’s time to give Boardman a call.
When you need clad for corrosion resistance, high temperature allowances, improved electrical conductivity, durability, mechanical abrasion protection, wear resistance, and more, we’re able to incorporate these materials:
If given the choice, wouldn’t you rather work with an industry leader who’s been mastering the art of clad-material fabrication for more than 50 years? With strip overlay welding procedures to increase the efficiency and quality of round and long seams on clad shells?
Our utilization of the latest technology has greatly increased our efficiency and quality, which creates savings we share with our customers. We have skilled personnel who understand the overlay and strip-back process, plus the know-how for ordering the right consumables to maintain chemistry, including strip weld sub-arc consumables.
If you’d like to put all these benefits to work for you, and get the stewardship that’s promised with every Boardman project, request a quote today.
