A cladding process and apparatus in which steel strip or sheet is cladded with a metal of lower melting point, e.g. lead, by maintaining a bank of constant level of the molten cladding material between a belt and the strip or sheet substrate which passes along an inclined path and is cooled to harden the molten material thereon. During the cooling process the applied material is compressed against the substrate.
