Roll cladding @ Gustav Wiegard MASCHINENFABRIK - Technology bridges to the future
Roll cladding is a process used to coat or bond a layer of material onto the surface of rolls, typically made of steel or other metals. This technique is especially critical in industries that require materials with unique surface properties, such as increased wear resistance, corrosion resistance, or specific electrical or thermal properties. The cladding material can vary widely, from metals and alloys to ceramics, depending on the intended application and performance requirements.
The roll cladding process can be accomplished through various methods, including welding (such as overlay welding), thermal spraying, or even electroplating. Each method has its advantages and is chosen based on the desired properties of the finished product, the materials being bonded, and cost considerations.
