Cladded Plates
Cladded Plates are advanced composite materials created by bonding two or more different metals to combine their best properties. Typically, a corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) such as stainless steel, nickel alloy, or titanium is bonded to a structural backing material like carbon steel or low-alloy steel.
This process results in a plate that offers the strength, cost-efficiency, and weldability of the base metal while providing the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or heat resistance of the cladding layer.
Moksh Tubes & Fittings LLP, we supply high-quality cladded plates manufactured through explosive bonding, roll bonding, or weld overlay techniques. Our products comply with ASTM, ASME, API, and international standards, ensuring long-lasting performance in aggressive environments like oil & gas, petrochemical, marine, and power generation industries.
