Clad metal materials are widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, shipbuilding, metallurgy, mining, machinery manufacturing, electric power, water conservancy, transportation, environmental protection, pressure vessel manufacturing, food, brewing, pharmaceutical and other industrial fields.

The uniqueness of clad metal materials is that they combine the advantages of various metal materials, overcome the shortcomings of single materials, and achieve synergistic improvement in performance.

Titanium steel clad plates have excellent corrosion resistance and high strength and are widely used in marine engineering and aerospace fields. Zirconium steel clad plates have good high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, making them the preferred material for the nuclear industry. Stainless steel composite plates have excellent acid and alkali corrosion resistance and are widely favored in the field of chemical equipment manufacturing. Clad materials of copper, nickel and steel have shown their unique advantages in the fields of power transmission and heat conduction. Copper-aluminum clad material is a lightweight, cost-effective layered composite conductor material with an outer layer of copper and an inner layer of aluminum or aluminum alloy. It combines the excellent conductivity of copper with the outstanding lightweight characteristics and cost advantages of aluminum.

The wide application of metal clad materials provides strong support for technological innovation and industrial development in various fields. In the field of petrochemical equipment manufacturing, the corrosion resistance of metal composite materials can greatly extend the service life of equipment and reduce maintenance costs. In the field of electric power, clad metal materials have superior electrical conductivity and can improve the efficiency and stability of power transmission. In the fields of seawater desalination and sewage treatment, the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of metal composite materials can effectively improve the efficiency and stability of equipment.

On the one hand, this new material can save rare metals and precious metals and reduce the manufacturing cost of downstream equipment; on the other hand, it can improve the thermal expansion, strength, wear resistance and many other properties of a single metal material, solving technical problems that cannot be solved by a single metal. Meet the requirements for material performance in special environments such as strong corrosion, high temperature and high pressure.

The development potential of clad metal materials is huge, but it also faces some challenges. First of all, continuous innovation and improvement of production processes require the investment of a large amount of R&D resources and technical talents. Secondly, the diversification and personalization of market demands require enterprises to respond flexibly and provide solutions. In addition, the requirements for environmental protection and sustainable development have also posed new challenges to the metal composite industry, and companies need to actively explore green production and recycling paths.
