Cladding in welding simply is the procedure of adding or depositing materials to a workpiece. It’s not the usual welding where it’ll just be joined or fused to another metal; it’s going to be deposited and added to the exterior of the part or component.
Customers commonly use weld overlay to balance corrosion resistant properties and costs, often coating an inexpensive metal, like carbon steel, with a more expensive base layer, such as stainless steel. Our weld overlay process uses readily available metals, reducing lead times, for a wide range of applications, including flanges, fittings, pipes, valves, pressure vessel nozzles and tube sheets for heat exchangers.
