Clad steel generates benefits in various cases, such as reducing overall piping costs and accommodating materials that can only be purchased in rare materials or thin plates.
Clad steel refers to a composite material that uses carbon steel, high-strength steel, low-alloy steel, etc., as the base material, and combines it with a different type of steel on one side through processes such as hot rolling (bonding), welding, or explosive bonding. By enabling the joining of dissimilar metals, it can create functions that cannot be achieved with a single type of metal. By combining materials with good corrosion resistance or by using less expensive metals in combination with more expensive ones, it is also possible to reduce the overall cost of piping. This type of steel offers advantages in various cases, such as accommodating rare materials or materials that can only be purchased in thin sheets. *The photo shows a cross-section of clad steel, where the combination of dissimilar metals can be seen.

basic information
The inner side is made of a cladding material for corrosion resistance, while the base material maintains strength. The thickness of the cladding material is generally around 3mm, and according to JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) for steel, there are specifications for types such as stainless clad steel, nickel and nickel alloy clad steel, titanium clad steel, and copper and copper alloy clad steel. These are materials that are not easily procured, and due to their composite nature, high technical skills are required for longitudinal welding. At Benkan Kiko, we are able to address such issues through our long-established sources for material procurement and welding technology.
