In general I would say cladding is taking a sheet or pipe of one material and bonding it to another, by pressing, sleeving etc. For pipes it can be mechanical expansion, thermal effects or similar.

Overlay for me is by deposition of one material onto another by welding, spraying or similar.

That's as far as I can go.

See, to me clad infers a metallurgical bond, such as explosive welding or hot rolled.
If it is loose or just held in place mechanically then it is what? Wallpaper? Lining?
There are just too many options.
And the performance/risks/limitations are very different.

With that language I believe you are not a fan of plug welded wallpaper? I've plug welded corrosion resistant cladding to brake drums but wouldn't do it again today knowing what I know.

If we were informed of the articles that the OP has under consideration then we might have a more meaningful discussion.
