Cladding

The process or the resulting product produced by the bonding of one metal to another, to protect the inner metal from weathering.

Cladding

the thermomechanical application to the surface of metal sheets, plates, wire, or tubing of a thin layer of another metal or alloy. It can be carried out during the hot rolling of sheets or plates or during the pressing of tubes. Cladding can be one- or two-sided. Its uses include the production of bimetals and trimetals, the creation of corrosion-resistant layers of aluminum on sheets, plates, and tubes of aluminum alloys, and the application of brass coatings to steel sheets—instead of electroplating.

cladding

[′klad·iŋ] (communications) A plastic or glass sheath that is fused to and surrounds the core of an optical fiber. (engineering) Process of covering one material with another and bonding them together under high pressure and temperature. Also known as bonding. (nucleonics) An outer jacket, usually metallic, for a nuclear fuel element; prevents corrosion of fuel and release of fission products into the coolant.

cladding

The plastic or glass sheath that is fused to and surrounds the core of an optical fiber. The cladding's mirror-like coating keeps the light waves reflected inside the core. The cladding is covered with a protective outer jacket. See fiber optics glossary.
