Alloy Steel Flanges, A182

The low alloy steel pipe flanges also tend to provide better mechanical properties as opposed to many conventional, standard mild or carbon steels. These alloys typically comprise of about 1 % to 5%  of the steel's content and are usually added based on their ability to provide a very specific attribute for their end use.

For instance, the addition of molybdenum in the alloy steel plate flanges, offers an improved material strength. Adding nickel adds toughness to the alloy. Similarly adding chromium to chrome moly flanges aids in enhancing other mechanical properties such as temperature strength, hardness, as well as corrosion resistance. Besides these elements the addition of trace amounts of both Manganese and silicon, other set of common alloying elements, provides the alloy steel threaded flanges with excellent deoxidizing capabilities.

Despite adding these elements, low alloy steel flanges aren't necessarily difficult to weld. The key to achieve a successful performance of the welding operation is by knowing exactly what type of low-alloy steel you have. Which means that one has to know if the alloy steel flange material is critical to achieving good weld integrity and the need for proper filler metal selection.High heat resistance steel grades are generally known as Chromium Molybdenum Steel.

A low alloy steel flanges series mostly consists of  approximately 0.5% to 9%  of Chromium.  And the content of  Molybdenum in the alloy steel flanges ranges anywhere between 0.5% to 1% . The alloy’s carbon content on average is lower than 0.20%. The alloy steel threaded flanges often have decent weldability along with a higher hardening ability because of its alloy trait. we are leading alloy steel flanges manufacturers in india
