Clad pipes combine cost-effective substrates with corrosion-proof exteriors, reducing replacement frequency. Found in LNG terminals, nuclear plants, mining operations, and water treatment, these pipes endure extreme environments. Fabrication methods include hot roll cladding, strip overlay, and laser deposition. Critical features include tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and dimensional precision. Applications demand thermal performance, pressure tolerance, and consistent flow dynamics. Procurement depends on standards compliance, lead time, and project scope. Engineers assess alloy bonding, joint quality, and heat treatment uniformity. Advances support modular construction, offshore retrofitting, and emissions control. Industry consolidation, joint ventures, and R&D funding influence competition and technological acceleration.
