Overlay cladding creates products with multiple performance advantages. Many applications require material properties that cannot be found in a mono-metal. Cladding of multiple metals together into one laminated strip can provide the desired properties unique to a specific application. Clad metals often use one material on the surface (for corrosion resistance, weldability or other benefits) and a different material in the core to create other properties. Examples include light weight with corrosion resistant surfaces or high thermal conductivity with good welding properties. Overlay cladding allows material designers the freedom to create clads with a wide range of properties not found in mono-metals.
