First of all, let's say what is flange forging. Forging is forging. It is a processing method that uses forging machinery to exert pressure on metal billets to make them plastic deformation to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties, shapes and sizes.
The purpose of flange forging required by the customer is to eliminate the defects such as casting looseness produced in the smelting process of metal through forging, optimize the microstructure, and obtain complete metal streamline, so that the machined workpiece has good mechanical properties.
Large forged flange connection is to fix two pipes, pipe fittings or equipment on a flange plate respectively, add flange gaskets between the two flanges, and fasten them together with bolts to complete the connection. Some pipe fittings and equipment have their own flanges, which also belong to flange connection.
Large forged flange connection is an important connection mode for pipeline construction. There are three types of large forged flange sealing surface: flat sealing surface, which is suitable for occasions with low pressure and non-toxic medium; The concave convex sealing surface is suitable for occasions with slightly high pressure; The mortise sealing surface is suitable for flammable, explosive, toxic media and high pressure occasions.
Large forged flange connection is easy to use and can withstand large pressure. In the industrial pipeline, the stamping elbow with large forged flange connection is widely used. In the family, the pipe diameter is small, and it is low pressure, and flange connection is invisible. If you are in a boiler room or production site, there are flanged pipes and equipment everywhere.
