Applications

Clad truck bumper

Clad sheet for truck bumpers: mirror-finish stainless steel faces outward for corrosion resistance; aluminium reduces weight.

Heat spreader / heatsink

Copper / aluminium structures can combine heat spreading with a lighter aluminium body.

Applications

Cookware

Stainless surfaces with an aluminium core support durable, formable cookware and even heat distribution.

Induction cookware

A suitable magnetic outer stainless layer, such as 430, can support induction cooking.

Clad metals for your application

Start with the application, then agree on the layer structure, dimensions and inspection requirements.

Cookware manufacturers

Explore three- and five-layer materials for cookware bodies in discs, sheets or coils, subject to construction. Confirm the layer grades, thicknesses, forming requirements and, where needed, a suitable magnetic outer layer for induction use.

3-layer clad materials 5-layer clad materials

Truck bumper manufacturers

For truck bumper projects, share the drawing, forming and joining methods, surface requirements, corrosion exposure and weight targets. The material construction and any applicable inspection or test requirements are reviewed for the specific design.

2-layer clad materials

Thermal management and other industrial projects

For heat spreaders or projects involving weight reduction and corrosion resistance, describe the operating environment, temperatures, heat-transfer needs and joining requirements. Layer selection and performance criteria are agreed for the application.
