Titanium Clad Carbon Steel Plate(For Indian Customer)
Application
During 2019-2022, we were proud to have a chance to provide this Indian customer with our cost-effective titanium clad carbon steel plate for their several local oil and gas projects in India. The total volume of these clad plates is 896 metric tons. The size of each clad plate is 1500 x 6000 mm, and the thickness of each clad plate is (7+2) mm. The production method is the roll bonding. All of these titanium clad plates had been passed by the TUV inspection before leaving company. The quality of them was well-received by our customer. You can always expect good quality and reliability from our titanium clad steel plates because KLS has more than 10 year's experience in producing clad metal materials in China.

For a comparable order, confirm the following requirements before production:
◆ Layer specification: Identify the titanium grade, carbon steel grade and thickness assigned to each layer.
◆ Fabrication drawings: Check the required plate size against cutting layouts, forming allowances and the orientation of the clad surface.
◆ Inspection plan: Agree on the applicable standard, acceptance criteria, test documents and third-party witness points.
◆ Project schedule: Match required quantities and release dates to the fabricator’s production plan.
A titanium clad layer can provide a corrosion-resistant surface where the equipment design requires one, while carbon steel serves as the supporting base. This construction allows designers to place titanium at the required surface instead of specifying a full-thickness titanium plate. The appropriate material grades and layer thicknesses must still be selected for the actual process medium, operating conditions and equipment code.
The India projects used a 7+2 mm layered plate. For a new oil and gas application, the same thickness notation should be treated as a project reference, then checked against your own design calculations and fabrication requirements. Tell us which thickness belongs to each material when submitting your specification.
Each plate in this supply measured 1500 × 6000 mm and was produced by roll bonding. For an equipment fabricator, plate dimensions affect the cutting plan, forming sequence and locations of finished joints. Confirming these details before ordering helps ensure the supplied blanks fit the intended manufacturing route.
If the plates will be cut, formed or welded into oil and gas equipment, provide the relevant fabrication drawings and procedures with your inquiry. The review should cover clad-side orientation, cut-edge treatment, forming requirements and the way the finished component will maintain its required corrosion-resistant surface.
The titanium clad carbon steel plates supplied for the India projects passed TÜV inspection before leaving KLS. This gave the customer a third-party inspection step before the material was released for dispatch.
For a similar project, define the inspection scope in the purchase documents so manufacturing, the inspector and the receiving fabricator work to the same requirements:
| Acceptance item | Requirement to confirm for a new order |
|---|---|
| Material identification | Grades, heat numbers, plate identification and required material certificates |
| Plate dimensions | Length, width, total thickness, individual layer thicknesses and tolerances |
| Bond quality | Required test methods, inspection coverage and acceptance criteria |
| Surface condition | Visual acceptance requirements and protection of the clad surface |
| Third-party release | Witness points, inspection reports and documents required before shipment |
If you are sourcing titanium clad plate for an oil and gas project, send us your material specification and equipment drawings.
Contact KLS with your project specification.
