Marine GradeAluminum Stainless Steel Clad Plate
what is Aluminum Stainless Steel Clad Plate ?
Aluminum stainless steel clad plate is a composite material where a layer of stainless steel is bonded to one or both sides of an aluminum plate, creating a material with enhanced properties. This process, known as cladding, joins two different metals with distinct properties to create a single material with superior performance characteristics
aluminum clad steel plate is commonly used for shipbuilding. They are used as transition materials between hulls to save costs and reduce the weight of hulls. We have been supplying aluminum clad steel sheet to domestic and foreign customers for over a long period of time. Our customers are located in more than 50 countries around the world. Market acclaimed.
Comprehensive Marine Aluminum Certifications: CCS, DNV, NK, CCS, ABS, BV, LR, KR, etc.

Features of Aluminum Stainless Steel Clad Plate
The main features of aluminum stainless steel clad plates are as follows:
Light weight: The weight of the aluminum stainless steel clad plate is only about 1/3 of the traditional pure aluminum panel, which can greatly reduce the load of the building and reduce the cost of the structure.
Corrosion resistance: The surface of the aluminum stainless steel clad plate has good corrosion resistance, which can effectively prevent the erosion of buildings by corrosive gases such as acid rain and salt spray.
High strength: Aluminum stainless steel clad plates have very high strength and can be made into various structural parts or parts with complex shapes, uneven thickness and heavy loads.
High temperature resistance: Aluminum stainless steel clad plates can withstand high temperatures up to 1000°C, so they are very useful in many high temperature applications.
Wear resistance: The wear resistance of aluminum stainless steel clad plates is very good, which can effectively reduce friction, reduce wear and tear, and prolong the service life of buildings.
Conductivity: Aluminum conducts electricity even better than copper.
Examples of Applications:
High-Speed Sound Insulation Board: The aluminum cladding helps in soundproofing.
Ship Bottoms and Buildings: The corrosion resistance of aluminum is beneficial in marine applications.
Plane Wings and Other Components: Aluminum-clad steel can be used in aerospace applications where lightweight and corrosion resistance are crucial.
Heat Exchangers: The high thermal conductivity of aluminum makes it suitable for heat transfer applications.
