A bimetal clad elbow is a type of abrasion-resistant pipe that allows one pipe to join another pipe at an angle. It's made of high chromium cast iron pipe, which is an alloy steel that can withstand high temperatures and pressures.
Bimetal clad elbows are used to to allow one pipe to join another pipe at some degree or angle.
Special Corundum ceramics made of rare metal oxides as solvents and sintered at high temperature by 1730 ℃ through bonding, welding, mosaic, riveting and socket technology, a variety of wear-resistant ceramic pieces, block brick materials in the pipe wear surface, so as to form a surface with excellent wear resistance, and the matrix is still using the composite pipe of ordinary metal.
Bimetal clad elbows are cast using a mold vanishing vacuum suction casting cladding process. The outer part of the straight pipe is a common steel pipe, and the cladding is created by forming a high chromium lining through centrifugal forming technique.
It not only satisfies the special requirements, but also saves costs.
In a clad line pipe, the corrosion-resistant alloy forms a complete barrier layer on the internal surface of carbon or low-alloy steel pipe (usually referred to as the “backing steel”). In general, use of clad or bi-metal-lined pipe allows the economic use of expensive CRA materials,It has been widely concerned and used in many other fields abroad.
The wear resistance of the high-chromium bimetallic lined pipe is at least many times that of ordinary steel pipes. The bimetallic composite steel pipe has inner and outer double layers of metal, the inner lining is made of wear-resistant cast iron, the inner lining material has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the outer layer material has high mechanical strength and high impact resistance. The lost foam composite process is directly adopted, and the metallurgical composite is formed by casting, which is safe and reliable to use.
Lined high-chromium bimetallic composite pipes include high-chromium bimetallic composite straight pipes lined, high-chromium bimetallic composite elbows lined, high-chromium bimetallic composite tee lined, Lined with high-chromium bimetal composite multi-pass, lined with high-chromium bi-metal composite reducer, lined with high-chromium bi-metal composite flash buffer device, etc.
Bimetal wear resistant products including: double metal wear-resisting straight pipe and double metal wear-resisting bend, double metal wear tee, double metal wear resistance reducer adopts the pipe fittings such as vacuum suction casting composite process, its advanced technology, effectively solve the problem of the bent pipe cannot be composite, bending and other various special-shaped pipe can do the whole compound, don’t change the material flow in the pipe bending trajectory, reduce resistance material conveying.
The outer wall of the centrifugal pipe is made of carbon steel, which ensures that the bimetal wear-resistant pipe has high mechanical strength and impact resistance.The inner lining wear resistance layer adopts the anti-wear alloy steel series independently developed by our company. The steel mainly adds alloy such as cr-ni-mo-cu-re and so on. Through the tempering heat treatment process, the alloy steel has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength and impact resistance.

Bimetal wear resistant pipe adopts centrifugal casting technology in the production process of straight pipe.
This technology is to fuse and shape both metals in liquid state, realizing the purpose of real metallurgical bonding. The shear strength of the binding layer is higher than that of the metal itself, and completely realizes the mechanical complementarity between base layer and wear resistant layer.

The base material is carbon steel or low alloy steel. Clad pipes comply with the most stringent requirements of strength and corrosion resistance. The carbon steel outer pipe (backing steel or base metal) complies with the static requirements of strength and durability whereas the high alloyed inside pipe provides protection against corrosion.
Oil and gas streams often contain aggressive species such as H₂S, CO₂ and chlorides. Subsea and untreated fields are particularly corrosive, with simultaneous heat transfer accelerating degradation.
Solid corrosion-resistant alloys are cost-prohibitive. Bimetal clad pipe offers an optimal balance: a thin corrosion-resistant inner liner combined with a high-strength carbon or low-alloy steel outer pipe.

Metallurgically bonded bimetal clad pipe
Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) process
High-chromium cast iron represents the third generation of white cast irons, developed from conventional Ni-Hard alloys.
Axial fans move air parallel to the shaft axis. They are widely used in ventilation, cooling and industrial exhaust systems where high flow rates at low to medium pressures are required.
(1) Centrifugal casting technology enables the molten steel to solidify and form under the gravity condition, which is dozens of times higher than conventional casting. It solves the problem of loose inside the casting tube billet, has high metal density, and has good discharge and exhaust effect.
(2)The size accuracy of centrifugal cast pipe is high and the wall thickness is even, which provides a favorable guarantee for the size accuracy of subsequent processed products.
(3)Centrifugal casting process has high flexibility for the production of steel pipes of small batch, multiple varieties and specifications, high quality and high value-added steel.
CRA basically means corrosion resistant alloy.
It’s a material that is built for cladding because its main purpose is to enhance a pipe’s resistance to corrosion.
Pipe elbow cladding is the process of applying a cladding material to elbow pipes.
It’s done on a more careful manner than the usual.
This is because elbow pipes can change throughout the entirety of the process.
Particularly, the process of pipe cladding benefits the oil and gas industry the most.
However, it can also be used by other industries such as:
Pipe lining is the process of prolonging the lifespan of pipes.
It can also be used, however, to restore a pipe from natural damages such as:
Pipe lining and pipe cladding are processes that are far from each other.
Lining is the process of mechanically bonding materials to pipes for restoration. Some of the uses of pipe lining include:
Cladding is the procedure of metallurgical bonding of clad materials to pipes. Some of the major uses of pipe cladding include:
There are a lot of companies that utilize state-of-the-art pipe cladding equipment.
We have cutting-edge technology that can complete projects ahead of time.
Some of the most notable features that our pipe cladding equipment have include:
Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.
Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.
Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.
The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.
Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.
