Bimetallic Composite Pipe
Advanced bimetallic composite pipes for enhanced durability and performance.
A bimetallic composite pipe is a type of pipe that consists of two different materials metallurgically bonded together.
It is designed to combine the advantageous properties of both materials, such as corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and cost-effectiveness.
Download PDFThe construction of a bimetallic composite pipe typically includes an inner layer made of a corrosion-resistant material, often referred to as the cladding or lining layer, and an outer layer made of a base material that provides structural strength. The cladding material is selected based on its resistance to corrosion, erosion, or other specific environmental conditions, while the base material is chosen for its mechanical strength and cost-effectiveness.
The bonding between the cladding and base materials in a bimetallic composite pipe is achieved through various methods, such as explosive bonding, roll bonding, or welding. These methods ensure a strong and durable bond between the two layers, enabling the pipe to withstand the operating conditions it is designed for.
Bimetallic composite pipes find applications in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and mining. They are commonly used in environments where corrosion, erosion, or high temperatures are a concern. The corrosion-resistant cladding layer protects the pipe from chemical attack, while the base material provides structural integrity.
It's important to note that the specific properties and performance of bimetallic composite pipes may vary depending on the materials used, the manufacturing process, and the application requirements. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with manufacturers or industry experts for detailed information and guidance on selecting and utilizing bimetallic composite pipes for specific applications.
The outer layer of the straight pipe is made of ordinary steel pipe, and the inner lining is composed of high-chromium cast iron, which is formed by casting process.

Pipe cladding is the process of covering a pipe with cladding material.
This acts as protection from problems such as wear, abrasion, corrosion, impact, etc.
Pipe cladding refers to the process of applying a protective layer or coating on the outer surface of a pipe to enhance its durability, resistance to corrosion, wear, and other environmental factors. It involves bonding a different material, typically a corrosion-resistant alloy or a high-strength metal, onto the base pipe material.
Pipe cladding is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment, where pipes are exposed to harsh conditions and corrosive substances. The cladding material acts as a barrier, protecting the base pipe from corrosion, erosion, and other forms of damage.
Weld-overlay cladding: In this method, a layer of cladding material is deposited onto the base pipe through welding. Various welding processes such as manual metal arc welding (MMA), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), or submerged arc welding (SAW) can be used depending on the cladding material and pipe size.
Explosion cladding: This technique involves using explosive energy to bond two materials together. The cladding material is generally in the form of a sheet or plate, which is explosively welded onto the base pipe.
Mechanical cladding: This method includes processes such as roll bonding and diffusion bonding. It involves mechanically bonding the cladding material onto the base pipe through pressure or heat, without the use of welding.
Pipe cladding provides several benefits, including increased resistance to corrosion, abrasion, chemicals, and high temperatures. It helps extend the lifespan of pipes, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall performance and reliability in demanding industrial applications.
Bimetal clad pipes are manufactured using various processes, such as explosive welding, roll bonding, or vacuum diffusion bonding. These methods ensure a strong metallurgical bond between the two layers, creating a durable and reliable composite pipe.
