Triplate®
The Leading Trimetallic Transition Joint
What makes Triplate® unique?
Manufactured using advanced vacuum explosion welding, Triplate® creates a continuous metallurgical bond between aluminium and steel. Unlike direct welding or mechanical fastening, this solid-state process delivers a permanent, defect-free connection with superior protection against marine corrosion.
Applications in Shipbuilding and Offshore Construction
Triplate® transition joints are primarily used in:
- Shipbuilding: transition joints between steel hulls and aluminium superstructures, reducing weight without compromising safety.
- Offshore construction: connecting aluminium living modules to steel structures on platforms and support vessels.
Triplate® is trusted in naval ships, high-speed ferries, passenger vessels, and offshore projects operating in extreme environments.
Certified Quality & Proven Reliability
With an impeccable record—not a single joint failure since 2008—Triplate® meets the highest international standards, including MIL.J-24445A, and holds approvals from Lloyd’s Marine, DNV, and ABS. Each joint undergoes rigorous testing to ensure resistance to fatigue, galvanic corrosion, and mechanical stress. Triplate® is the only transition joint that guarantees a 100% dense interface, verified through dye-penetrant testing.
