Clad Metal Plates
Clad metal plates have two parts: low carbon steel plate and alloy wear-resistant layer. The anti-wear layer generally accounts for 1/3-1/2 of the total thickness; when working, the substrate provides comprehensive performance such as strength, toughness, and plasticity to resist an external force. The wear layer provides the wear resistance performance that meets the requirements of specified working conditions.
The metallurgical bond between the wear-resistant steel alloy wear layer, and the substrate,Through special equipment and automatic welding process, high hardness self-protecting alloy wire is evenly welded on the base material. The number of compound layers is one to two and even more layers. In the process of compounding, due to different alloy shrinkage ratio, uniform transverse cracks appear, which is the remarkable characteristic of clad metal plates.
The wear-resistant layer mainly takes chromium alloy as the main component and adds other alloy components such as manganese, molybdenum, niobium, nickel, etc. The carbide in the metallographic organization is fibrous distribution, and the fiber direction is perpendicular to the surface. Carbide microhardness can reach HV1700-2000 above; the surface hardness can reach HRc58-62. Alloy carbide in high temperature has strong stability, maintains high hardness, and has excellent oxidation resistance, at 500 ℃ within the utterly everyday use.
Clad metal plates have high wear resistance and good impact performance, can be cut, bent, welded, etc., can take welding, plug welding, bolt connection, and other structural connections. It is time-saving and convenient in the maintenance field process. Widely used in metallurgy, coal, cement, electricity, glass, mining, building materials, brick and tile, and other industries, compared with other materials, has a very high-cost performance and has been favored more industries and manufacturers.
What types of material are clad metal plates made of?
What types of companies are buying clad metal plates?
Any company that has equipment with components that slide against each other or that are exposed to abrasive or corrosive materials or impact damage such as steel mills, pipe mills, aluminum mills, chemical companies, mining, military, etc.
Are there different types of clad metal plates?
Yes, clad metal plates can be made from many different materials: Q235, Q345 are very common, other material can be used as base plate. Standard alloy can be changed in many different ways; it can improve the abrasion resistance while lowering the toughness, or the other way round. On the contrary, the matrix can be made harder by reducing the manganese to 1%, with some reduction in firmness. Also, further refinement may be accomplished by the addition of other alloying elements.
How are clad metal plates used?
Clad metal plates are used to prevent damage to the main machinery due to abrasion or impact and to increase the life of the machine.

Ordering a wear plate from WALDUN
In some cases, we can modify your equipment to incorporate these liner plates when not in the original equipment design. If your equipment has lost some efficiency or does not hold the same tolerances as new, inspect the worn parts. There could be an easy and cost effective fix to the problem.
