Metal cladding sheets have become a critical material in today’s construction, industrial manufacturing, energy, and transportation sectors. They combine durability, functionality, and aesthetics, providing an innovative solution for projects that require protection, performance, and cost efficiency. Whether used in building facades, pressure vessels, chemical equipment, or new energy systems, metal cladding sheets deliver unmatched advantages.
Manufacturing Processes of Metal Cladding Sheets
1. Explosion Welding
Explosion welding is one of the most widely used processes for producing metal cladding sheets. By using controlled detonation energy, two dissimilar metals are bonded at high velocity, creating a wavy metallurgical interface.
Advantages: Excellent bond strength, ability to join metals that are otherwise impossible to weld, large sheet sizes available.
Applications: Copper-clad aluminum sheets, stainless steel-clad steel plates, titanium-clad steel plates.
2. Hot Rolling and Cold Rolling
Rolling processes involve passing layered metals through rollers under high pressure.
Hot Rolling: Performed at high temperatures, improves ductility and grain structure.
Cold Rolling: Carried out at room temperature, enhancing surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Key Advantages of Metal Cladding Panels
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel, titanium, and nickel claddings protect against acidic or marine environments.
- Cost Efficiency: Expensive metals like titanium or copper are only used as surface layers, reducing total costs.
- Mechanical Strength: Steel substrates provide rigidity and impact resistance.
- Aesthetic Value: Aluminum and copper claddings give modern architectural finishes.
- Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: Copper cladding ensures high conductivity for electronics and energy applications.
- Lightweight Solutions: Aluminum-based cladding reduces weight while maintaining durability.
Industry Applications of Metal Cladding Sheets
1. Construction and Architecture
Metal cladding sheets are widely used in building facades, roofing, wall systems, and decorative panels. They enhance weather resistance, fireproofing, and energy efficiency while offering attractive finishes.
Example: Copper cladding for luxury buildings, stainless steel panels for airports, aluminum cladding for high-rise towers.
2. Chemical and Petrochemical Industry
In chemical plants, metal cladding sheets such as titanium-clad steel resist strong acids and alkalis, making them suitable for reactors, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers.
Case: Titanium-clad steel plates used in desalination plants extend service life under seawater corrosion.
3. Power and Energy Industry
Power plants, nuclear facilities, and renewable energy systems adopt cladded plates for pipelines, condensers, and storage tanks.
Example: Nickel-clad steel ensures performance in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
4.Transportation and Marine Engineering
Ships, offshore platforms, and automotive industries benefit from the lightweight yet strong properties of metal cladding sheets.
Case: Aluminum-clad steel sheets used in ship hulls reduce weight while preventing seawater corrosion.
5. Electronics and New Energy
Copper-aluminum cladding sheets are increasingly applied in lithium batteries, EV connectors, and PCB boards due to their conductivity and lightweight nature.
Example: Copper-aluminum transition plates in electric vehicle batteries improve performance and cost efficiency.

Product production process
Metal Cladding Panel Case
1: Titanium-Clad Steel for Desalination
A Middle Eastern desalination project required corrosion resistance against seawater. Titanium-clad steel sheets were selected, extending service life by 25 years and reducing replacement costs.
2: Copper-Aluminum Cladding in EV Batteries
An electric vehicle manufacturer adopted copper-aluminum clad sheets for battery connectors. The result was lower weight, reduced material cost, and higher conductivity efficiency.
3: Stainless Steel Cladding in Architecture
A commercial skyscraper used stainless steel cladding sheets for exterior facades. The sheets provided a modern appearance, resistance to acid rain, and low maintenance requirements.
