A method of continuously cladding aluminum strip by jointly warm rolling a core strip and an aluminum cladding strip in contact therewith, to bond the strip, wherein the core and cladding strips are advanced to the mill at respectively different line speeds over a looper roll disposed ahead of the mill and above the pass line of the mill, the cladding being also advanced around an ironing roll disposed ahead of the looper roll such that the cladding undergoes a double bend over the two rolls and is in contact with the core strip as and after it passes the looper roll but is out of contact with the core strip ahead of the looper roll. One or both sides of the core strip can be clad; for two-sided cladding, two cladding strips are respectively advanced over separate ironing rolls and into contact with the opposite surfaces of the strip.
