Explosion Welding
By detonating high-energy explosives, NobelClad's process drives one metal into another, creating a strong metallurgical bond.
Welding Techniques
Our Engineering and Research & Development teams are experts in metals and applications, so we partner with customers and re-imagine metal performance in more than 260 compatible and non-compatible combinations.
Blending our technical expertise and welding technologies, we offer the widest collection of clad metal products anywhere in the world.
We pride ourselves on solving demanding material design and processing challenges by joining dissimilar metals using explosion welding, roll bond and weld overlay for the world’s industrial infrastructure.
Roll Bonding Overview
As a cost-effective, solid-state welding process, roll bonding passes two or more metals through a pair of flat rollers at high temperature to bond dissimilar metals.
Weld Overlay Overview
Weld overlay melts one metal—the cladding layer—onto the surface of another metal of similar composition and melting point, forming a clad metal material that is resistant to corrosion and wear.
