Coins made of layers of metal. Examples include modern U.S. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars, and Dollars that have centers of copper and outer layers of a copper-nickel alloy.
having an outer covering especially of thin metal; "steel-clad"; "armor-clad"
Clad coinage is a term used to describe coins that have a core of one type of metal and an outer layer of another metal or metals. US dimes, quarters, and half dollars since 1965 have been clad. Clad differs from a plated coin in that the clad blank (or planchlet) is treated to seal the layers of metal together.
Clad coins are made from (usually) three sheets of metal, typically a base metal core with silver outer layers.
Composed of more than one layer, such as the copper-nickel over copper composition of U.S. dimes, quarters, and halves minted presently
A relatively thin layer or sheet of metal foil which is bonded to a laminate core to form the base material for printed circuits.
composed of more than one metallic layer, e.g. dimes, quarters, and halves currently minted by the U.S.
Clad cookware begins with a thick core of pure aluminum (on the base and, in some cases, partially up the sides) which is then clad, or covered, with another metal such as stainless steel or hard-anodized aluminum. The pure aluminum core provides excellent heat conductivity, while the interior/exterior metals provide such properties as durability, stick resistance or an attractive color. Clad cookware also may be referred to as encapsulated, because the aluminum core is encapsulated between layers of one or more different metals.
Refers to wood window and door parts that are covered with aluminum or vinyl on the exterior side of the frame and/or sash.
Term used to describe modern “sandwich” coins that have layers of copper and nickel. Silver clad - used to make the Kennedy half dollars.
The exterior frame of a window. Only Integrity windows have Ultrex® cladding a supertough polymer of glass fibers and polyester resin that's impervious to weather, time and everyday wear and tear. Learn more about Ultrex here.
Coins that are still in circulation... Usually dating from 1965 and on.
A layer of aluminum bonded or sheathed to the exterior of a wood window to achieve a maintenance free product.
Usually refers to the bonding of one metal to another, such as copper to stainless steel, in a way that takes advantage of the characteristics of both metals.
Provided with a facing or jacket which works as a protection against weather, and provides a finished appearance. Cladding may be painted metal, plastic, or a heavy coating applied by the manufacturer.
A layer of some other metal or of an alloy bonded to it, such as clad steel, rubber cladding on a metal pipe, or metal cladding on non-resistant metal. Costs may be lowered by cladding or the performance may be improved.
A term used to describe any of the modern "sandwich" coins that have layers of both copper and nickel.
