Clad Sheet Aluminum Alloy

Aluminium cladding for pipe insulation.

Clad sheet aluminum alloy. It has a melting point of about 500 degrees celsius or 932 degrees fahrenheit. Alclad is a trademark of alcoa but the term is also used generically. Brazing sheet comprises of a core alloy clad on 1 or 2 sides with a lower melting aluminum silicon al si alloy. An extremely thin sheet of pure aluminum laminated onto each side of an aluminum alloy sheet improves the corrosion resistance with little impairment of strength.

Aluminum cladding is cladding that is created using a thin coating of aluminum on the exterior of the product. From this trade name the adjective clad and the verb cladding have been derived. This thin layer usually makes up 5 to 10 of the total thickness of the brazing sheet. It melts and flows during the brazing process to provide upon cooling a metallic bond between the components.

Alclad is a corrosion resistant aluminium sheet formed from high purity aluminium surface layers metallurgically bonded rolled onto to high strength aluminium alloy core material. The trade name of this aluminum laminate as originated by the aluminum company of america is alcad. Cladding in general is the application of one type of substance or material over a different material effectively creating a protective layer on the underlying material. The trade name of this aluminum laminate as originated by the aluminum company of america is alcad.
