Profile: Cherry Metal Co Ltd is a manufacturer of producing a series of clad sheet and plates, tubes and pipes, fin tubes and U bend tubes and tube make equipment. Clad steel is a composite product developed to provide effective and economic utilisation of expensive materials. The cladding layer which will be in contact with the corrosive fluids is made of the corrosion resistant alloy whilst the less expensive backing steel provides the strength and toughness required to maintain the mechanical integrity. Because high strength backing steel can be utilised, wall thicknesses can be reduced relative to solid CRAs thus reducing fabrication time and costs.
