The machinery and tools used in the oil and gas industry are often exposed to harsh chemicals and environment; hence reducing the life of the machinery. To prevent this damage, overlay cladding should be used on the machinery. Cladding is a type of welding process in which a different metal is used over the surface of the base metal to prevent wear and tear.

Crystal Industrial uses advanced technology for overlay cladding so that there is equal distribution of metal over the base metal. Generally, overlay cladding is done over base materials like carbon steels, Duplex, low alloy steel and stainless steel products.

This process is often used in the manufacture of pressure vessels, pipe spools, reactors and tubes that are prone to corrosion. The overlay cladding process is popular in the industry as it is economical. It not only helps to coat new tools and machinery but also can be used a replacement of a lost metal.

Overlay cladding can be classified into two types, namely, weld overlay and fabrication. Crystal Industrial often provides customized solutions to clients and hence it depends on your production process and the type of machinery used that whether strip cladding or regular overlay cladding will be used.

Crystal Industrial of India not only excels in manufacturing world class overlay cladding pipes, but also helps clients to decide which weld overlay combination will be suitable for their process. Before the delivery of the material, several quality tests, like the ultrasonic testing is done to ensure quality products.
