Weld Overlay Process Clad Pipes Market Definition
Weld overlay process clad pipes are low-carbon steel or mild steel piping with an internal contact surface that has been chemically treated to resist corrosion and extreme alkalinity or acidity. Weld overlaying protects the base material from friction, heat damage, and other typical operational damages. Inert gases such as carbon dioxide, helium, or argon and other materials, corrosion-resistant alloys, wear-resistant alloys, and materials with specific thermal or electrical properties are widely used in production.
Structure
The weld overlay process clad pipes market is segmented into metal inert gas, tungsten inert gas, and others by type. These pipes have widespread applications in the oil and gas, energy and power, chemical, engineering and construction, paper industry, metal and mining, and others. Notable businesses in the sector include SSAB, BUTTING Group, Cladtek International, The Japan Steel, Eisenbau Kramer (Zhejiang Jiuli Hi-Tech Metals Co), Allied International, Proclad Group, Pourin Special Welding Technology, Xian Sunward Aeromat, European Heathyards, Zhejiang Dewei Stainless Steel Piping Co, CONEL Co, Jiangxi Hengda Hi-Tech Co Ltd, Uhlig Wel-Cor GmbH, Canadoil Group, and WH-STEEL.
Additional Information
The weld overlay process clad pipes market is growing due to technological advancements, and an increasing demand for corrosion-resistant materials in industrial environments is driving growth. However, issues with the welding process, such as dilution of the base metal, can affect the final corrosion resistance, restricting use in highly corrosive environments. The next few years will likely see significant growth in the oil and gas industries, providing opportunities for businesses in the market.
