1.Raw Material Inspection & Blanking:Select high-quality carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel round bars that conform to ASTM and ASME standard requirements. Strictly inspect chemical composition, mechanical properties and surface condition to exclude internal inclusions, cracks and surface defects. Qualified raw materials are precisely cut into standard fixed-length blanks for forging production.
2.Heating & Closed Die Forging:
The prepared blanks are evenly heated to the specified forging temperature under precise temperature control. Adopt closed-die forging process to integrally form solid disc-type flange body with complete outer contour and uniform thickness. The forged blank features dense internal grain structure and excellent overall rigidity,providing reliable pressure-bearing performance for high-pressure sealing conditions.
3.Trimming, Straightening & Heat Treatment:
Remove forging flashes and excess edges, and straighten workpieces to eliminate forming deformation and ensure flatness and regularity of the flange surface. Conduct professional heat treatment including stress relief annealing, normalizing and solution treatment according to different materials, effectively eliminating forging residual stress and improving mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
4.Precision Machining:
Perform precision turning on flange sealing surface, end face and outer circle, and process standard bolt holes strictly in accordance with ASME B16.5 standards. Accurately control flatness, roughness and dimensional tolerance to ensure excellent fitting performance and tight sealing effect during assembly.
5.Surface Finishing & Quality Testing:
Thoroughly clean internal and external burrs, oxide scales and machining stains. Carry out full dimensional inspection, visual examination and nondestructive testing to ensure no structural defects. All parameters are strictly verified to meet high-pressure pipeline isolation and sealing standards.
6.Marking, Anti-rust Treatment & Warehousing:
Mark qualified blind flanges with material grade, pressure class, specification,execution standard and heat number. Complete professional anti-rust protection and standardized packaging before warehousing and delivery.
