Reliable Material for LNG Storage and Processing Facilities
316L Stainless Steel Clad Plate with carbon steel base is widely used in LNG facilities where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are essential. The stainless steel cladding protects against process media and environmental exposure, while the carbon steel substrate provides strength and economic advantages. Suitable for LNG storage tanks, process vessels, and related infrastructure.
What Is Stainless Steel Clad Plate？
Product Definition：
Stainless steel clad plate is a bimetallic composite material consisting of a carbon steel or low-alloy steel base (substrate) and a stainless steel cladding layer (overlay) , permanently bonded together through a metallurgical process--4. The carbon steel base provides structural strength and toughness, while the stainless steel cladding delivers superior corrosion resistance on the working surface-. The two layers are bonded at the atomic level – not glued, not mechanical – ensuring the composite performs as a single, inseparable material-.
Why Clad Plate Instead of Solid Stainless Steel？
| Factor | Stainless Steel Clad Plate | Solid Stainless Steel Plate |
|---|---|---|
| Material Cost | 40-60% lower | High (100% stainless) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Equal (on clad surface) | Full thickness |
| Structural Strength | Excellent (carbon steel base) | Good |
| Weight | Similar | Similar |
| Weldability | Requires special procedure | Standard |
| Best For | Large equipment, pressure vessels, storage tanks | Small components, thin sections |
| Lifecycle Value | Excellent cost-performance ratio | High initial cost |
Key Characteristics：
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | Stainless steel cladding (304, 316L, etc.) provides full corrosion protection on the working surface- |
| Structural Strength | Carbon steel base (Q235B, Q345R, A516) delivers high strength and impact resistance- |
| Cost Efficiency | Reduces material cost by up to 60% compared to solid stainless steel |
| Metallurgical Bond | Continuous atomic-level bonding – no separation or delamination- |
| Fabrication Friendly | Can be cut, formed, welded, and rolled using adapted processes |
| 100% Ultrasonic Tested | Every plate is 100% UT inspected to verify bond integrity-4 |
| Multiple Grades | Cladding: 304, 304L, 316L, 310S, 904L, 2205; Base: Q235B, Q345R, A516, A36- |
Product Classification：
| Type | Description | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Side Clad | Stainless steel on one side | Pressure vessels, storage tanks, chemical reactors-1 |
| Double-Side Clad | Stainless steel on both sides | Special applications requiring corrosion protection on both faces |
| Symmetric Clad | Equal cladding on both sides | High-corrosion environments |
| Asymmetric Clad | Different thickness or grades on each side | Custom engineering requirements |
Typical Applications by Industry：
| Industry | Applications | Recommended Cladding/Base |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical & Petrochemical | Reactors, columns, heat exchangers, storage tanks, towers- | 316L / 304 + Q345R |
| Oil & Gas | Sour gas vessels, separators, pipelines, offshore platforms- | 316L, 904L + Q345R |
| Pressure Vessels | Boilers, autoclaves, crystallizers, digesters- | 304L, 316L + Q345R / A516 |
| Shipbuilding & Marine | Hull plates, cargo tanks, offshore structures-4 | 316L + A36 / Q345R |
| Bridge Engineering | Bridge decking, structural components-4 | 304 + Q345qE |
