We specify a A 36 thick plate to be clad as per ASTM A 264 and ASTM A 240, Type 316L steel. Would you consider a 316 weld overlay by GMAW process in order to produce the clad plate instead of hot rolling or explosive bonding the stainless steel plate to the structural plate? Is that right? Is it a possible interpretation of the standards mentioned?

Thanks for your answer.
