In metalwork, the term cladding is the creation of a bond between dissimilar metals. A benefit of using Stainless Steel Cladding Rollers is that the end product is compact, has a finner microstructure and it tends to be free from both crack and porosity. During cladding, the pressure is elevated to such an extent that the metal will deform and there is a reduction in the combined thickness of the material undergoing a cladding operation. On the other hand, the use of a Pipe for Printing Rollers is different to that used for cladding.
Generally, the pipes used to produced printing rollers are engraved or embossed to accommodate or print the design on the fabric or a piece of paper. Since printing operation is rapid, the metal used to make these Pipe For Rollers needs to be light in weight, sturdy, along with exhibiting good corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance properties. The dye used for printing may contain corrosive chemicals, where prolonged use may degrade the roller, which in turn would require frequent changes. Using a suitable grade to produce a Stainless Steel Roller ensures longevity, while an exceptional performance is also guaranteed. However, in comparison to some metals, stainless steels tend to be much heavier. Hence, the use of a set of Aluminum Grooved Roller makes sense in these applications. Not only is aluminium light, but it also has good corrosion resistance properties and delivers good results.
