Characteristics of Explosive Composite Process
1. Due to the fact that explosive cladding is a cold processing method, it may manufacture clad plates made of many different metals besides stainless steel, including titanium, copper, aluminum, and others.
2. Stainless steel clad plates having a total thickness of several hundred millimeters, such as some big bases and tube plates, can be made using explosive cladding. Unfortunately, it is not appropriate for the manufacturing of composite steel plates that are less than 10 mm thick overall.
3. Exploiting explosive compounds to produce energy Explosives will pollute the environment with noise, vibration, and smoke. Yet, there are numerous explosive manufacturing facilities in China, and the equipment investment is modest. The production efficiency of explosive compounding is low as a result of the limitations of weather and other process factors.
Features of Hot Rolling Composite Process
1. It is produced by a large medium plate rolling mill and a hot continuous rolling mill, so the production efficiency is high and the supply speed is fast. The product has a large format and can be freely combined in thickness. Stainless steel cladding thickness of 0.5mm or more can be produced. Yet, because of the size of the investment, fewer producers exist.
2. Due to the limitation of the compression ratio of rolled steel, hot rolling production cannot produce clad steel plates with a thickness of more than 50mm, and it is not convenient to produce various small batches, round and other special shapes of clad plates. Advantages of hot-rolled clad plate 6, 8, and 10 mm thin gauge clad plate. It can make composite coils, lower production costs, and satisfy more customer needs when rolling hot continuously.
3. Titanium, copper, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metal composite plates cannot be directly produced using the hot rolling process at this time due to technical limitations.
To sum up, the two very different production processes have their own characteristics, exist and develop at the same time, and meet the vastly different needs of different users. The aforementioned two procedures are combined in the explosive rolling process.
Cold rolled stainless steel clad plate
On the basis of the hot-rolled stainless steel clad plate, through annealing, pickling, cold rolling, intermediate annealing, pickling (or bright annealing) tension leveling, and other production processes, stainless steel clad coils (plates) suitable for civil fields have been produced. The surface of the plate reaches the surface quality of the same series of stainless steel, and the yield strength is better than that of the same grade of stainless steel.
Stainless steel clad plate has the characteristics of various carbon steel and stainless steel, and is welcomed by users for its excellent performance and price ratio, and has broad market prospects. But what's interesting is that since the 1950s, after more than half a century of ups and downs in the development process, there are still many people who don't know it. More people have not used it. It should be said that the market for stainless steel composite plates has gradually entered a mature stage, but there is still a lot of development work to be done. Scientists and technologists will never cease researching and working to create a society that conserves resources.
