Clad plate is a multi-layer plate which combines
a carbon or low alloy steel plate (backing or backer)
with a thin layer of corrosion resistant grade (cladding

Advantages of roll-bonded clad plates

Compared to explosion clad plate,

Compared to solid corrosion resistant plates, roll-bonded clad plates have:
roll-bonded clad plates are:
• Cost competitiveness
• Material cost saving
• Homogeneous bond
• Weight reduction
• Wider dimensional range
• Welding cost saving
• Lower residual stresses
• Better thermal conductivity
• Improved flatness tolerances
• Lower thermal expansion

Compared to mechanical Compared to weld overlay, roll-

cladding and wall papering, bonded clad plates exhibit:
roll-bonded clad plates present:
• Integral bonding between the Industeel • Higher corrosion resistance
• Greater choice of Corrosion

• Resistance to pressure cycles
• Easier circular welds for pipes
• Easier maintenance
PLATES • Higher internal soundness
• Homogeneous bond (neither

Compared to coatings (organic, plastic or tiles,…) , roll-bonded clad plates have:

• Higher reliability (wear, earthquake)
• Easier field erection
• Easier maintenance operation
• Sustain after service exposure

Beyond 2-layer, Industeel can also produce 3-layer clad plates.

Gage of quality
As a producer of both low alloyed steels for the backing and corrosion resistant grades for the cladding, Industeel supplies
ultra clean quality steel grades with:
• Excellent properties of the backing material.
• Corrosion resistance of the cladding adapted to the service conditions.
• Strong bonding of the backing and the cladding guaranteed by 100% ultrasonic testing (automatic and/or manual) and
mechanical shear tests.

Clad plate solution for clad pipe applications

Oil and Gas pipelines are exposed to increasingly aggressive environments,

in terms of corrosivity, temperature and pressure.

Clad pipes made from our metallurgical roll bonded clad plate offer the best material
solution for these most demanding applications.

Our strengths
• Resisting in the most severe environment (High Pressure, High Temperature, H2S, CO2, elementary sulphur, chloride…)
• Exhibiting high fatigue resistance
• Wide range of thickness with both high corrosion resistance (HIC, pitting and intergranular corrosion resistance, ...)
and toughness (Charpy, Battelle)
• Excellent toughness in Heat Affected Zone and at mid thickness
• Having limited scattering properties to ease the pipe forming
• Whole process in our hand, including internal casting of CRA and backing
