Adopt high-quality carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel round bars that meet ASTM and ASME standard specifications. Strictly inspect chemical composition, mechanical properties and surface quality to exclude cracks, inclusions and other internal and surface defects. Qualified raw materials are precisely cut into fixed-length standard blanks for flange forging production.
2.Heating & Closed Die Forging:
The qualified blanks are evenly heated to standard forging temperature with precise temperature control. Closed-die forging technology is applied to integrally form the flange disc, sealing surface and central bore structure. The forged workpiece features dense internal grain, uniform wall thickness and stable mechanical performance,laying a solid foundation for subsequent thread processing and high-pressure connection.
3.Trimming, Straightening & Heat Treatment:
Remove forging flashes and redundant materials, and straighten the workpiece to eliminate forming deformation and ensure flat and regular flange overall shape. Conduct targeted heat treatment including stress relief annealing, normalizing and solution treatment according to different materials, effectively eliminating forging residual stress and improving structural stability and corrosion resistance.
4.Precision Machining & Thread Processing:
Perform precision turning on flange end face, sealing surface and inner hole.Process standard internal threads such as NPT and BSPT strictly in accordance with industry standards, with precise control of thread tolerance, smoothness and engagement accuracy to ensure tight and reliable threaded connection without leakage.
5.Surface Finishing & Quality Testing:
Thoroughly clean internal and external burrs, oxide scales and machining residues.Carry out full dimensional inspection, thread detection, visual examination and nondestructive testing to ensure all specifications and structural performance fully meet industrial pipeline standards.
6.Marking, Anti-rust Treatment & Packaging:
Mark qualified threaded flanges with material grade, size, pressure class,execution standard and heat number.
