YICHOU METAL COMPOSITES
Explosion Clad & Roll Bonded Plates for Critical Industrial Applications
*Precision-Bonded Metal Solutions Since 2005*
YICHOU masters explosion cladding and roll bonding technologies to unite incompatible metals into superior composites. Our plates deliver the corrosion resistance of titanium, zirconium, or nickel alloys combined with the structural strength of carbon steel – at 30-70% lower cost than solid exotic metals.
