CLAD METALS |
We have been producing “Clad metal ” (composit metals of different
kinds).
Takefu Special Steel Co.,Ltd, has been making
contributions to the society as a creative
manufacturer through manufacturing and marketing
of its original products in the field of
industrial materials, industrial art materials
and etc., primarily centered on cutlery materials
( from household to industrial use).

You know "CLAD metal
" ?
- It is a composite metal partly or entirely
diffusion bonded
together of different
kinds of metals.
- Metal composition shows higher performance
which respective materials alone do not possess
and the performance complements opposite
characteristics of each material, that is
"compound characteristics".

Clad Effect on Cutleries
- Toughness
Like Japanese swords, clad metal is hard
to break or bend, thanks to the toughness as the hard steel part is clad with soft steels.
- Easy to work on
Cladded structure is easy to apply on such
works as forging, grinding, sharpening or
polishing to make a sharp blade.
- Improved corrosion resistance
Proper material combination generates electrical
potential difference and it enhances the
corrosion resistance on blade edge.
- Better and long lasting sharpness
Steel after forging pressure makes the microscopic
structure denser and improves the sharpness
and ensures long lasting performance.
- Resource saving
As high class steel is used only for necessary
part, it is perfectly cost effective..
- Easy distortion correction
As the steel is bonded with soft steel materials,
its blade is hard to break and the distortion
correction is easy.
- Easy drilling and welding after heat treatment
Though the steel gets harder after heat treatment,
the soft steel never loses its softness,
enabling the material to be drilled or welded.
- Design improvement
Laminated patterns or Damascus patterns appear
from basis materials which are bonded with
different kinds of metals.
