Something that covers or overlays; term used to describe the exterior wall covering, as well as the metal components cover windows, doors and/or fascia for weather protection.

A metal covering that sheathes a metal structure.

Marvin clad products refer to wood window and door parts which are covered with an extruded permanent colored aluminum jacket on the exterior side of the frame and sash.

In fiber-optic cable, a colored, low refractive index material that surrounds the core and provides optical insulation and protection to the core.

The thin-walled metal tube that forms the outer jacket of a nuclear fuel rod. It prevents corrosion of the fuel by the coolant and the release of fission products into the coolant. Aluminum, stainless steel, and zirconium alloys are common cladding materials.

Of an optical fiber, one or more layers of material of lower refractive index, in intimate contact with a core material of higher refractive index. 2. A process of covering one metal with another (usually achieved by pressure rolling, extruding, drawing, or swaging) until a bond is achieved.

The layer of glass that surrounds the optic fibers in fiber optic cables.

Method of applying a layer of metal over another metal whereby the junction of the two metals is continuously welded. In fiber optics, a sheathing intimately in contact with the core of a higher refractive index material which serves to provide optical insulation and protection to the reflection interface.

An exterior veneer stone covering that is non-load bearing.

Material placed on the exterior of wood frame and sash components to provide ease of maintenance. Common cladding materials include vinyl and extruded or roll-formed aluminum.

The metal tubes containing oxide fuel pellets (cf zircaloy).

What?

The exterior weather-resistant surface of a building. Code Compliance Certificate (CCC)

A cover added to conceal or decorate the base or supporting structure of a sign.

(adj) wearing or provided with clothing; sometimes used in combination(adj) having an outer covering especially of thin metal(n) a protective covering that protects the outside of a building

The low refractive index material that surrounds the core of an optical fibre, usually pure silica (typically 125μm).

The exterior covering of the structural members of a building.

The application of a thick (generally above 1mm) coating which melts or diffuses into the substrate. Processes include weld cladding and plasma transferred arc (PTA).

A process for covering one metal with another. Usually the surfaces of fairly thick slabs of two metals are brought carefully into contact and are then subjected to co-rolling so that a clad compositi [..]

Large injection molded, plastic part attached to lower section of door for protection and design.

The outer layer, which provides corrosion protection or other desirable property, to a composite metal. The metal layers can be bonded together by rolling, welding, casting, heavy chemical deposition, [..]

The exterior covering of the structural members of a building.

An exterior covering intended to control the infiltration of weather elements, or for aesthetic purposes.

Usually an aluminum or vinyl material fixed to the outside faces of wood windows and doors to provide a durable, low-maintenance surface.

The outermost region of an optical cable, less dense than the central core. Acts as an optical barrier to prevent transmitted light leaking away from the core.

A low refractive index material that surrounds the core of an optical fiber. The difference in index between the core and the cladding contains light traveling through the core, while also serving to [..]

Cladding is both a manufacturing and Coating process, during which Welding techniques are used to cover a base Material with a cladding material in order to produce a high-quality surface.Typically, a [..]

Cladding is a manufacturing technique which clouds the older delineations. Production Cladding is a method of manufacturing pans with a heat conductive material (copper or aluminum), and then coverin [..]

A layer of material that protects the structural elements of a building usually metal, brick, timber or cement sheets. Can be used to create features to the home.

Materials used on the roof and walls to enclose a house, providing protection against weather.

The covering of one metal with another so as to use their joint qualities or to create a cheaper cost.

Cladding is the clear plastic or glass layer that encloses the light-transmitting core of a fiber optic cable. The cladding has a lower refractive index than the core, and reflects the light signal back into the core as the light propagates down the fiber.

An aluminum material locked to the outside faces of many products to provide a durable, low-maintenance exterior surface.

The dielectric material surrounding the core of an optical fiber. A low refractive material that surrounds the core of the optic fiber and protects against scattering. Fiber cladding might be glass or [..]

The seperately-applied exterior finish of a framed building.

Cladding is an outer layer of material covering another. It may refer to the following: Cladding (boiler), the layer of insulation and outer wrapping around a boiler shell Cladding (construction), ma [..]

Cladding is the bonding together of dissimilar metals. It is different from fusion welding or gluing as a method to fasten the metals together. Cladding is often achieved by extruding two metals throu [..]

Cladding in optical fibers is one or more layers of materials of lower refractive index, in intimate contact with a core material of higher refractive index. The cladding causes light to be confined t [..]

Cladding is the application of one material over another to provide a skin or layer. In construction, cladding is used to provide a degree of thermal insulation and weather resistance, and to improve [..]
