stainless steel aluminum clad metals for dual/three layer hot plate induction cooktop, diffuser plate & steel plate armor

FASTAL Griddles

FASTAL clad plate is our premium quality, three-layered product delivering the highest performance for industrial griddles. This tri-metal composite consists of an aluminum core metalurgically bonded between two sheets of stainless steel.
Advantages
  • Excellent bond strength
  • Outstanding corrosion resistance
  • Even surface heat distribution
  • Reduced sticking and flavour transfer
  • 30% lighter than carbon steel
  • Can be saw cut or water jet cut
  • Low maintenance

Typical Properties of Stainless Steel/Aluminum/Stainless Steel

Our three-layer material provides better ductility and strength than pure aluminum. It also achieves superior heat conductivity than stainless steel. The same benefits apply to our thicker plates.
