Coating conditions of organic polymers on the cladding metal surface are found to form a film of suitable thickness; thus, reoxidation of the cladding metal surface and scum entrainment can be completely prevented, resulting in satisfactory bonding at the interface between cladding metal and base metal.; An effect of hot top on a remelting behaviour of the cladding metal has been investigated. The plate with low clad ratio is realized by applying the proper hot top condition. In order to achieve uniform distribution of clad ratio and flatness in the product, new rolling and levelling methods have been developped by investigating deformation behaviour during the slab and plate rollings and levelling processes of the two-layer stainless-carbon steel clad plate.
