ASTM B898 Metal Clad Plates are composite plates consisting of reactive or refractory metals metallurgically bonded to carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel backing materials. These plates are designed to provide the corrosion resistance of expensive specialty metals while maintaining the strength and cost-effectiveness of a structural steel base. They are widely used in chemical processing, petrochemical plants, desalination facilities, power generation, fertilizer plants, and offshore industries where superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity are essential. Manufactured in accordance with ASTM B898, this specification covers reactive and refractory metal clad plates produced by explosion bonding, roll bonding, or other metallurgical bonding processes. The standard ensures controlled bonding quality, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of ASTM B898 Metal Clad Plates, supplied with mill test certificates and strict quality inspection as per international standards. Forms of Supply (as per specification): Metal clad plates, Titanium clad plates, Zirconium clad plates, Tantalum clad plates, Niobium clad plates, Explosion bonded plates, Roll bonded plates, Corrosion-resistant clad plates, Pressure vessel clad plates, Heat exchanger plates, Custom fabricated clad plates Available Cladding Materials (as per ASTM B898): Titanium, Zirconium, Tantalum, Niobium Scope of Specification: • Covers reactive and refractory metal clad plates • Suitable for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and corrosion-resistant equipment • Provides excellent corrosion resistance with structural strength • Manufactured using metallurgical bonding techniques such as explosion bonding and roll bonding Typical Clad Construction: • Cladding Material: Titanium, Zirconium, Tantalum, or Niobium • Base Material: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, or Alloy Steel • Bond Type: Metallurgical Bond • Available in various clad thickness and base metal combinations Mechanical Properties: • Mechanical properties primarily governed by the base metal specification • Excellent bond strength between cladding and base material • Superior corrosion resistance on the clad surface • Suitable for welding and fabrication applications • Reliable performance under pressure and temperature variations Key Features: • Outstanding corrosion resistance • Cost-effective alternative to solid specialty metal plates • Excellent bond integrity and durability • Good weldability and fabrication characteristics • High strength combined with corrosion-resistant surface properties Material Characteristics: ASTM B898 metal clad plates combine the corrosion resistance of reactive and refractory metals with the structural strength of carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel substrates.
