In power plant construction, and particularly in waste incineration systems, boiler walls, collectors and convection heating surfaces are subject to strong abrasion by aggressive flue gases.
Cladding is a process in which a high-alloyed special steel is deposit-welded onto the base material for surface protection. State-of-the-art automatic welding machines with pulse welding as well as CMT welding procedures are used both in surface and in radial cladding.
