Shipbuilding Industry

Bimetallic clad plates are increasingly applied in the shipbuilding industry, offering a cost-effective solution for combining corrosion resistance with structural strength. These plates, typically made of stainless steel clad over carbon steel or marine-grade steels (e.g., AH36, DH36), are used in fabricating seawater piping systems, cargo tanks, engine room components, exhaust gas scrubbers, and hull sections exposed to aggressive seawater environments. In offshore vessels and LNG carriers, nickel-based alloy clads and titanium clads are also used to ensure resistance against pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride-induced degradation.

Clad plates enable significant material savings while ensuring compliance with classification society standards (such as DNV, ABS, LR). They also support common marine fabrication processes, including welding, bending, and surface treatment.
