Abstract
In manufacturing, cold and hot plastic working and welding a stainless clad steel, the important considerations on heat-treatment were described. In most cases, the selection of heat-treating conditions for clad steels was made clear to be considerably difficult.
Therefore, it was perferable provided that the heat-treatment of the clad steel could be avoided. However, if heat treating is required, the deterioration of properties of both cladding metal and base metal was needed to be minimarized by the adequete heat-treating condition and by using the materials being designed the chemical compositions.
