Welding processes
The process is selected to take into account the limitations
required for dilution, heat input.
The backing steel side is generally welded by submerged
arc (SAW) for the thicker plates, metal active gas (MAG)
or shielded manual arc (SMAW).
The corrosion resistant cladding is generally welded by
shielded manual arc welding (SMAW), tungsten inert gas
(TIG) or pulsed GMAW which reduce dilution and
distorsions.
Selection of filler materials
The weld metal for the backing steel is selected to match
the strength of the backing and to meet the impact
strength requirements.
When full alloy welds are used, the filler must have the
same strength as the backing steel (in addition to the
required corrosion resistance).
Full alloy welds are generally selected in such cases as :
- light gauge plates (< 9mm, 3/8")
- thin claddings (< 2mm/.08")
- nickel alloy claddings requiring tight analytical limits
(Fe < 5%)

Heat treating
s Before heat treating the surfaces of plates must be free
of dirt, oil, grease, lubricants and paint or ink
markings, with special attention to cladding surface.
s Gas and oils with very low sulphur contents are
recommended. This is critical for nickel containing claddings.
s The heating atmosphere must be neutral or slightly
oxidizing to avoid carburization. Protective atmospheres
can also be used.
s Check the recommended full heat treatment (shown on
certificates, or consult) required for the clad plates.
Finishing of clad plates after fabrication
The post-fabrication finishing operations for stainless or
alloy clad plates are similar to these recommended for
solid stainless steels and alloys.
In general, the cladding surfaces may be ground, sand
blasted with clean sand, pickled as solid stainless or alloys.
Once again, the essential requirement is that the
corrosion resistant surfaces be free of paint, oil, grease,
weld spatter or slag, heat tints, rust or any other form of
contamination before the equipment is put into service.
Metallic iron or iron oxide remains on the stainless or alloy
surface may initiate localized corrosion which generally
appear after a short period of service (1-3 days) as a
"rust" or colored stain.
If the problem is detected quickly, a re-pickling operation
is generally sufficient to solve the problem.
Storage and handling
s Care must be taken to avoid contact between carbon
steel tools or lifting equipment such as clamps, hooks,
lifting magnets, etc with the cladding surfaces by using
adapted protections.
s Care must be taken to avoid contact between the
cladding and the backing steel during storage.
Clad plates should be stored in such a way that their
surfaces remain dry and clean.
s Check regularly the condition of the plastic film and of
the cladding if clad plates are stored for long periods.
