Stainless steel clad plate enquiries need a layer-by-layer specification. State the base material and cladding grade, each layer thickness, total plate thickness, size, tolerances and intended application.
Key technical inputs
- Base metal and stainless cladding grade with applicable standards
- Individual layer thicknesses and total thickness
- Plate width, length, quantity and edge or cutting requirements
- Bonding process and required inspection or testing
- Design conditions, code requirements and documentation
Range and verification
A supplier brochure lists a stainless/carbon clad-plate reference range of 2.5–12.0 mm total thickness and 1000–1540 mm width. Confirm applicability to the requested material combination and obtain written confirmation of each layer dimension and tolerance.
Compare quotations consistently
Compare the same layer schedule, bonding and inspection scope, standards, quantity, packing and delivery terms. Have the project engineer confirm suitability for the service conditions before ordering.
