DClading
DClading is a term used in surface engineering to denote a dual-layer cladding process in which two distinct cladding materials are sequentially deposited onto a substrate to create a composite surface with tailored properties. The name is commonly interpreted as "dual cladding," and the concept is discussed in the context of enhancing surface performance through controlled layering.
The typical process involves preparing the substrate, applying the first cladding layer, and then applying a
Materials configurations for DClading commonly include metal/metal pairs to improve mechanical strength and wear resistance, metal/ceramic
Applications of DClading span sectors such as aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and chemical processing, where
