During the cladding process, we combine at least two different metallic strips into a composite material. The individually prepared component strips run parallel from their respective coils together into the roll gap of the cladding stand. The rolling pressure creates a mechanical bond. Subsequent heat treatment then produces an inseparable contact surface.

Through subsequent rolling, annealing, and skin-pass steps, we optimally adapt the composite to customer requirements. This results in strips in work-hardened, soft-annealed, and temper-rolled conditions with a defined strength range.

Cleverly combined layers offer the following benefits:

• Improved or new properties depending on the materials used

• Individual composite structure

• Cost-effective tool manufacturing / design iterations

• Realisation of complex designs (channel structures)
