3 Terms and Definitions

The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.

3.1 Homogeneous Clad Steel Plate

The finished steel plate after hot rolling of composite billets of the same material.

3.2 Heterogeneous Clad Steel Plate

The finished steel plate after hot rolling of composite billets of different materials.

3.3 Cladding Metal; Cladding Layer

The stainless steel in a heterogeneous clad steel plate that comes into contact with the working medium and atmosphere.

3.4 Base Metal; Base Layer

The carbon steel that primarily bears the structural strength in a heterogeneous clad steel plate.

3.5 Rolled Compounding

The method of achieving metallurgical bonding between the cladding metal (3.3) and the base metal (3.4) of the same or different materials during the rolling process.

3.6 Compound Contact Interface

The bonding surface between the cladding metal (3.3) and the base metal (3.4) of a heterogeneous clad steel plate.

3.7 Percentage of Unbounded Area

The percentage of the area at the joint of the original billet of a homogeneous clad steel plate after rolling, and the area between the cladding metal (3.3) and the base metal (3.4) of a heterogeneous clad steel plate that is not metallurgically bonded, relative to the total interface area.

3.8 Patched Welding

The process of removing the unbonded parts of the cladding metal according to certain requirements, welding stainless steel onto the base metal, and then performing various treatments to maintain the original properties of the cladding metal of the heterogeneous clad steel plate.

4 Classification and Marking

4.1 Grade Codes

According to the manufacturing method and requirements for the percentage of unbounded area, the classification grade codes for clad steel plates shall comply with the provisions of Table 1.

4.2 Marking

4.2.1 The marking of homogeneous clad steel plates consists of the steel grade, dimensions, classification grade code, and number of this document in sequence, connected by a hyphen ("-").

Example: A homogeneous clad steel plate of grade R1, with a thickness of 120 mm, a width of 2 000 mm, and a length of 8 000 mm, formed by rolled compounding of two Q345R billets, is marked as follows.
