• Summary

    Carbon steel plate, bonded with a stainless steel plate on one or both sides for producing a clad steel plate composite. This provides not only an adequate strength but also the corrosion resistance to the surface. The advanced technology “Directed Energy Deposition - DED” is applied for cladding using wire filler. The process has the ability to deliver a higher quality coating material “Inc. high bond strength & integrity” with very little distortion and dilution, as well as enhanced surface quality, and ability to place tailored performance enhancing material exactly where required. Hence, the particular property requirement for the material surface is met without using large quantities of expensive stainless steels or alloys, thus it is suitable for large carbon steel components. Cladding does not change the micro structure of the backing material as this process creates a new surface layer with a different composition (stainless steel) than that of the backing material (carbon steel). Hot rolling process is applied to reduce possible clad layer defects such as porosity, cracking, roughness “clad layer surface waviness” and layer thickness accuracy as well as to more improve mechanical properties. DED cladding process is conducted at ASU Egypt, while rolling operation will be conducted at TU-Clausthal Germany during the “Short Term Applied Research Fellowship”, where there is a strong group in rolling of steel
