The flange forging industry is the basic industry of machinery. It has certain representative significance to a country's industrial technology development level. If a country without forged flange industry is not an industrialized country in a complete sense, then a country without advanced forged flange technology can hardly be said to be a country with advanced manufacturing technology.
1. Flange forging has better temperature resistance
The main materials for forging flanges are carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel. The main standards are national standard, electrical standard, American standard, German standard, Japanese standard and so on. The main anti-corrosion treatments are oiling and galvanizing. Forged flanges have better pressure and temperature resistance, and are generally suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature working environments.
2. Flange forging ensures the mechanical properties of parts
Flange forging is not a simple mechanical part in the usual sense, but a mechanical product carrier that contains rich technical connotations. These two manufacturing methods are common manufacturing methods for flanges, depending on the strength requirements of the parts to be used. The mechanical properties of castings are lower than the mechanical properties of forgings of the same material.
In addition, the forging process can ensure the continuity of the metal fiber structure. The high-gloss machine keeps the fiber structure of the forging consistent with the shape of the forging, and the metal streamline is complete, which can ensure that the parts have good mechanical properties and long service life. Forgings produced by extrusion, warm extrusion and other processes are unmatched by castings.
