Stainless steel clad plate is a whole made of stainless steel and other steel types in a certain way. It is a new type of material that has the advantages of stainless steel and other materials, which not only reduces production costs but also meets actual needs. Due to its outstanding characteristics, it can be widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, seawater desalination and salt production, nuclear industry, food industry, water conservancy construction, and other industries.
Additionally, a crucial step in the creation of clad plate is the heat treatment of stainless steel clad plate. After explosive welding, the clad steel plate's strength and hardness rise while its plasticity decreases, making it difficult to straighten and meet other usage criteria. After explosive compounding, the purpose of heat treatment is to reduce internal stress and increase plasticity. The heat treatment system of carbon steel will inevitably clash with ordinary stainless steel since it has its unique solution treatment system.
The following are the matters that should be paid attention to when heat treatment of stainless steel clad plate:
1 Clean the surface: Before heat treatment, the surface of the plate should be thoroughly cleaned to remove impurities and pollutants on the surface and prevent the effect of heat treatment from being affected.
2. Control the heat treatment temperature: The heat treatment temperature should be adjusted according to different material compositions, thicknesses, and required properties, and should be controlled within an appropriate range to avoid adverse effects on materials caused by excessively high or low temperatures.
3. Control the heat treatment time: The heat treatment time should be adjusted according to different material compositions, thicknesses, and required properties, and should be controlled within an appropriate time range to avoid adverse effects on the material if the time is too short or too long.
4. Determine the heat treatment method: heat treatment methods include annealing, normalizing, quenching, etc., which should be selected according to different material compositions, thicknesses, and required properties, and the specific operating procedures and technical points of the heat treatment method should be mastered.
5. Control the cooling speed: After heat treatment, proper cooling treatment is required, and the cooling speed should be well controlled to avoid adverse effects on the material caused by too fast or too slow speed.
