Stainless Steel 202 Socket Weld Flanges
Socket weld flanges are integral components used in piping systems. They are designed to join pipes, valves, and other fittings securely. Unlike slip-on flanges or welded neck flanges, socket weld flanges are inserted into a pipe’s end and welded into place, which makes them ideal for small-diameter, high-pressure piping systems. The number "202" in stainless steel 202 socket weld flanges refers to the specific grade of stainless steel used in their manufacturing. Stainless steel 202 is a high-manganese, low-nickel austenitic steel that is known for its good corrosion resistance and strength, making it ideal for various applications, especially in industries where components are exposed to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. Ferrobend Company manufactures stainless steel 202 socket weld flanges with precision and quality, ensuring that they meet or exceed industry standards.
Stainless steel 202, like other grades of stainless steel, offers excellent resistance to corrosion. This is particularly beneficial in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or salty air is prevalent, making it ideal for industries such as marine, chemical processing, and power generation. Stainless steel 202 flanges are known for their strength, durability, and toughness. They can withstand high pressures and temperatures, making them a reliable choice for critical applications.
Our production begins with the procurement of high-quality stainless steel 202 from trusted suppliers. Stainless steel 202 is selected for its composition of chromium, nickel, and manganese, which provides the optimal balance of strength and resistance to corrosion. We ensure that the material meets strict quality control standards before it enters our production line.
Once the stainless steel 202 material is sourced, it is subjected to precise cutting and shaping processes. Using advanced CNC (computer numerical control) machines, we cut the material into the required dimensions for the socket weld flanges. This ensures a uniform shape and size, providing a perfect fit for any piping system.
After heat treatment, the stainless steel 202 socket weld flanges undergo surface finishing. This process includes grinding, polishing, and other treatments to remove any imperfections, such as burrs or rough edges, and ensure that the flanges have a smooth and uniform surface. The final surface finish improves the appearance and reduces the potential for corrosion, particularly in environments where the flanges will be exposed to chemicals or moisture.
