What is Alloy Steel Flanges?
Alloy steel flanges are designed with a variety of alloys. The versatile flanges can be alloyed between 1% to 50%, helping in determining the various properties of these flanges. The content of alloys ensures that the flanges possess certain corrosion and oxidation resistance in the systems. Iron and carbon are the most common alloys in this grade. The robust high strength flanges showcase excellent mechanical performance across stress-induced setups.
Why Is Alloy Steel Flange Face Protection Important?
A face type in a flange is a gasket that is employed in sealing the flanged connection. Dents, damage, or corrosion build-up will lead to failure of the flange. This type of damage can lead to increase costs due to repairs or replacement ultimately resulting in delaying the project.

Welding process of Large Diameter Alloy Steel Flange
Large diameter alloy steel flanges are welded in place using a singular weld joint. The flanges are divided into 8 equal parts and are shaped in an x shaped groove. The flange is readily welded in place, making use of manual arc welding process using CO2 gas shielded welding process.
