Stainless Steel 202 Forged Plates
Ferrobend utilizes advanced machining equipment, including CNC machines, to guarantee that each forged plate meets the stringent requirements of its clients. The cold working process also imparts additional strength and surface hardness to the plates, making them more suitable for demanding applications. Once the heat treatment is complete, the forged plates are subjected to cold working processes to refine their shape and size. Cold working involves the use of mechanical processes like rolling, grinding, and machining to achieve precise thickness, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy. Ferrobend offers customization in terms of plate thickness, size, and surface finish, catering to the specific needs of clients across industries. Forged plates are used in the manufacturing of automobile components such as exhaust systems, chassis, and body parts.
Stainless Steel 202 stands out for its balanced composition and cost-effectiveness. As a company at the forefront of innovation, Ferrobend has built a reputation as a leading manufacturer of Stainless Steel 202 Forged Plates, meeting diverse industry requirements and offering unmatched quality. This article delves into the manufacturing process of Stainless Steel 202 Forged Plates by Ferrobend, highlighting their advantages, applications, and the steps involved in their production.
Stainless Steel 202 belongs to the austenitic stainless steel family, primarily known for its excellent corrosion resistance and tensile strength. This particular grade is composed of iron, chromium, nickel, and manganese. The lower nickel content compared to other grades like 304 makes it a more affordable option while maintaining many of the desirable properties of stainless steel.
At Ferrobend, the manufacturing of Stainless Steel 202 Forged Plates follows a rigorous process that involves several stages to achieve superior quality and precise specifications. The process begins with the selection of raw materials and ends with the final testing and delivery of the forged plates. Ferrobend sources only the finest stainless steel billets and ingots that conform to the required chemical composition and mechanical properties. These materials are carefully checked for impurities to ensure the production of high-quality forged plates.
Once the raw materials are selected, the next step involves melting them in an electric arc furnace (EAF) at Ferrobend’s state-of-the-art facility. During this stage, the steel is melted at extremely high temperatures, usually above 1500°C, and alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese are added in precise amounts to achieve the desired chemical composition. This step is crucial in ensuring that the resulting forged plates possess the necessary strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
