Titanium Clad Plates

Titanium Clad Plates

Titanium is a lightweight metal known for its high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding performance in both high and low temperatures. Titanium clad plates are materials made by bonding titanium sheets with carbon steel or stainless steel. These clad plates combine the corrosion resistance of titanium with the cost-effective, high-strength properties of steel, addressing the limitations of conventional stainless steel, which is prone to pitting and stress corrosion in chloride environments.

With superior corrosion resistance, high strength, and good plasticity, titanium clad plates offer excellent overall performance, significantly reducing production costs (by approximately 50% to 70%). They are widely used in industrial applications such as electrolytic electrodes, condensers, hydrogen storage materials, petroleum refining, and seawater desalination heaters. For example, in the petrochemical industry, equipment made from titanium-steel clad plates allows titanium to come into contact with the solution inside the vessel, while the steel serves as the outer wall. This design provides the vessel with corrosion resistance while maintaining strength and rigidity, ultimately reducing costs for customers.

In the vacuum salt production industry, the smooth and corrosion-resistant surface of titanium helps prevent salt scaling on the walls of evaporators, extending the time between cleaning cycles.

	Clad Layer THX.	TTL THX.	Max. Width	Max. Length
Explosive	min. 2mm	–	4.5m	14m
Explosive + Rolling	0.8-2mm	max. 152mm	4.5m	14m
Rolling	0.8-14mm	8-40mm	4.5m	14m

Thickness ratio of the cladding to the base material should be greater than or equal to 1:3 for roll bonding.

We can produce wide titanium-steel clad plates using a 5-meter rolling mill, ensuring the cladding layer is seamless.

Others could be tailored due to customer’s unique need.

DELIVERY AND PACKING

Below is our standard packing method for export transportation, for other special requirements from our customers, we can customize. The surface of the clad plates is covered with a PE plastic film, followed by a layer of hard cardboard for protection. The outermost layer is waterproofed, and labels are applied to ensure effective identification. The product is then loaded for shipment.

FAQ

Can customers specify the suppliers of raw materials such as pressure vessel steel, stainless steel, titanium, copper, and nickel-based alloys used in CLAD products when placing an order?

Of course, no problem. Our company has long-standing, strong partnerships with major steel mills such as TISCO, TSINGSHAN, Jinan Steel, CITIC Special Steel, NISCO, ANSTEEL, SHOUGANG, and SHAGANG, as well as suppliers of titanium, nickel alloys, and copper materials. Customers can specify their suppliers or provide their own raw materials.

Can we include our own specific requirements and agreements in addition to the general ordering terms?

Yes, it is certainly possible to include your own specific requirements and agreements alongside the standard ordering terms. This can be done through a customized agreement or contract that outlines any additional specifications, terms, or conditions unique to your order. It is essential that both parties reach mutual agreement on these additional terms before proceeding with the order to ensure clarity and alignment.

Can the customer request third-party inspection and a 3.2 certificate of compliance?

Yes, customers can request third-party inspection and the issuance of a 3.2 certificate of compliance. This certificate, which verifies that the product meets specific quality standards, can be provided upon request. The third-party inspection will be conducted by a recognized independent entity to ensure that the product complies with the agreed-upon specifications. Please inform us in advance if this is required, so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Does the company maintain a regular stock of cladded plates for quick delivery?

Due to the specific nature of cladded plates, each order is typically accompanied by a technical agreement, making it difficult for us to keep a large inventory. However, we do maintain some stock of certain grades of cladded plates. Feel free to inquire with us about availability.

What is the typical delivery time for your company’s cladded plates?

The delivery time depends on the arrival of base materials and cladding materials. If there are no special technical requirements, both rolling and explosion bonding processes can typically be completed and delivered within 25-35 days after the raw materials arrive.
