| How Are Clad Plates Manufactured? |

Clad plates are typically manufactured using two main processes: explosion bonding and roll bonding.
1. Explosion Bonding: In this process, the two metals to be clad together are positioned in close contact with each other. The assembly is then subjected to a high-energy explosion. The explosion creates a high-pressure shockwave that forces the two metals together at an extremely high velocity. The impact of the explosion bonds the metals together, creating a strong metallurgical bond between them. The explosion pressure deforms and cleans the surfaces, removing any oxide layers or contaminants. This results in a strong and durable bond between the base metal and the cladding material.
2. Roll Bonding: In the roll bonding process, the two metals are cleaned and prepared, ensuring the surfaces are free from contaminants. The surfaces are then brought into intimate contact with each other. The bonded surfaces are passed through a rolling mill, and high pressure is applied to establish a solid bond between the metals. The rolling pressure causes the metals to bond together, creating a clad plate with a strong metallurgical bond. The thicknesses of the base metal and cladding material can be adjusted according to the specific requirements.
Both explosion-bonded clad plate and roll bonded clad plate offer advantages and limitations. Explosion bonding is suitable for larger surface areas and creates strong bonds quickly. Roll bonding is more suitable for thinner cladding layers and allows for greater control over the overall thickness and dimensions of the clad plate.
After the bonding process, the clad plate may undergo further heat treatments or finishing processes to improve the overall properties and dimensions of the plate. These processes may include annealing, leveling, straightening, or machining, depending on the specific application requirements.
It is important to note that clad plate manufacturing requires careful control and expertise to ensure proper bonding, avoiding delamination or other integrity issues. Therefore, manufacturing clad plates is typically carried out by specialized companies with the necessary equipment, experience, and quality control measures to produce high-quality clad plates.

Light alloy, aluminum alloy as a kind of excellent properties in recent years in our country industry get promoted.Due to the different physical and chemical characteristics of aluminum alloy steel and other traditional industrial materials, under the condition of the traditional manufacturing technology, the use of aluminum alloy has some bottlenecks.Only through technology innovation and revolution, to break through the bottleneck, to the excellent performance of aluminum alloy to shine in various industrial fields.
Connection technology is one of the bottlenecks in the process of aluminum alloy processing and manufacturing.Traditional connection technology including riveting and welding, and the two ways for aluminum alloy, respectively obvious shortcomings in terms of efficiency and performance.How to adopt a way of connection, not only has high efficiency, but also has high performance, at the same time can both environmental protection and green manufacturing?It was like to describe a perfect technology, and actually really exist?
Friction stir welding, for most people, the term is also very strange.Friction stir welding as a kind of automatic solid connection technology, overcome the low efficiency and poor sealing of the problems of riveting, has also changed the welding for aluminum alloy "water" and the operator of the occupational health problems.The technique was only 20 years, but in the world within the scope of all kinds of industrial applications has made brilliant achievements.
Five major advantages
Friction stir welding is developing rapidly
Friction stir welding as a kind of connection method of solid phase is based on the numerical control machine tool mode of a kind of welding way, both operational, or accuracy, and have not substitute technology in such aspects as environmental pollution-free advantages.
First of all, the friction stir welding technology is implemented under the plastic state of materials, products with high weld metallographic consistency and weld hot cracking, welding defects such as inclusions, porosity.
Second, friction stir welding technology using automated machinery and equipment for welding, to avoid the dependence on operating workers technical proficiency, for all position welding automation, improve work efficiency.
Third, friction stir welding technology without having to treat the welding products for special treatment, do not need to open groove, filling materials and protective gas, the welding process is simplified.
Fourth, friction stir welding process does not produce dust, spatter, ultraviolet radiation and electromagnetic radiation, to realize the welding process of green, environmental protection and harmless.
Fifth, friction stir welding of weld residual stress is low, basic no deformation, weld properties close to the parent metal, mechanical performance, improve the reliability of the weld.
In Europe, friction stir welding applied in shipbuilding industry, the earliest ship for manufacturing aluminum alloy, aluminum alloy panel welding problem, need to be solved before welding welding way prone to "thin horse phenomenon" (hull structure in the process of welding, will produce certain deformation, especially the plate and the superstructure, welding deformation especially, commonly known as "thin horse phenomenon"), the phenomenon not only cause the loss of hull surface beautiful degree, but also can not meet the requirements, the material strength indexes and the application of friction stir welding to solve the problem.So, before the introduction of friction stir welding in China, has been manufacturing aluminum boat, until Beijing FSW technology co., LTD., for the first time in a certain type of missile speedboats scale application of friction stir welding technology, the notion of the over China cannot make aluminum boat.At present, the friction stir welding technology has been widely used on naval ships and yachts.Can say, because of the friction stir welding technology, the application of aluminum alloy in the field of ship to expand.

4x8 aluminum sheet refers to 4 foot and 8 foot, a ratio of the width to length of the aluminum sheet. 1 foot = 304.8 mm, 4′ = 1219 mm, 8’ = 2438 mm. Thus , it means the size of 4x8 aluminum sheet is 1219 mmx2438 mm.4x8 aluminum sheet has no restrictions on the alloy. It is a common size for most aluminum alloy sheets like pure aluminum plate, alloy aluminum plate, thin aluminum plate, medium-thick aluminum plate, tread aluminum plate. Alloys include 1050, 3003, 3105, 3004, 5005, 5052, 5083, 5754, 6061, 7075,etc.3mm 4x8 aluminium sheet is very common in shipbuilding. Commonly used alloy grades are 5083, 5086, 5052 and 5754, 3003, 6061, etc. These aluminum sheets for marine use are lightweight and offer excellent corrosion resistance, machinability, formability, weldability, and more. They are used for boat decks/sides/bottoms/outboards, etc.The 6061 aluminum plate belongs to the 6000 series, and the alloying elements are magnesium and silicon.

Air fryer aluminum foil is also a kind of household aluminum foil. It is used for wrap food in air fryer like vegetable, fish and biscuits. The common alloys are 1060, 3003, 8011,etc. It can be divided into single-sided shiny foil and double-sided shiny foil.Aluminum foil rolling is divided into single-sheet rolling and double-rolling. During single-sheet rolling process, both sides of the aluminum foil are in contact with the roll surface, and both sides have bright metallic luster, which is called double-sided shiny foil. During double rolling, only one side of each foil is in contact with the roll, the side that is in contact with the roll is bright, and the other side is dull.The air fryer aluminum foil can be used as the paper pad for the baking tray, which is used to avoid direct contact between the baking tray and the food. Firstly, it prevents the food from sticking to the baking tray; secondly, it isolates the bacteria on the baking tray, which is more hygienic. And it saves the trouble of cleaning the baking pan.It is also often used to help bake bread. If the food is directly baked in the air fryer, it is prone to uneven heating and slow heating. And if the food is wrapped in aluminum foil and then baked, the heat source of the air fryer will be transmitted to the aluminum foil and then to the food, so that the airtight interlayer between the food and the aluminum foil will generate water vapor and hot air, which can not only heat the food evenly, but also speed up the heating.The household aluminum foil roll is is made of primary aluminum alloy and rolled through multiple processes, and it does not contain harmful substances such as heavy metals. In the production process of aluminum foil, a high-temperature annealing sterilization process is adopted, so the aluminum foil can be safely in contact with food and will not contain or promote the growth of bacteria. In most cases, aluminum foil will not react with food.
