Products Description

316L Introduction

SAE 316L stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel and the second most common stainless steel after SAE 304 stainless steel. Its primary alloying constituents after iron are chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–12%), and molybdenum (2–3%). Up to 2% manganese and small (<1%) quantities of silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur are also present. The addition of molybdenum provides greater corrosion resistance than 304, with respect to localized corrosive attack by chlorides, hydrogen embrittlement and to general corrosion by reducing acids, and other acids such as sulfuric acid;while sulfur is added to improve ease-of-tooling/machinability. 316L grade is the low carbon version of 316 stainless steel, which improves relative corrosion-resistance. When cold worked, 316 can produce high yield and tensile strengths similar to duplex stainless steel grades.
It is commonly used in chemical and petrochemical industry, in food processing, pharmaceutical equipment, medical devices,  jewellery, luxury watches (especially diver's watches), in potable water piping,wastewater treatment,in marine  applications and architectural applications near the seashore or in urban areas.

316L Octagonal Gasket Introduction

The 316L Octagonal Gasket is a premium metal sealing component manufactured from 316L stainless steel, featuring a standard octagonal cross-section. It delivers reliable metal-to-metal sealing performance under high pressure and high-temperature working conditions. This gasket offers excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and good mechanical stability, suitable for flanged connections on pipelines, pressure vessels, valves and instrumentation equipment. It conforms to international flange sealing standards, can withstand harsh media including acid, alkali and steam, and is widely used in oil & gas, chemical, power and petrochemical industries. Precision machining ensures consistent surface finish and tight fit with flange grooves to prevent leakage for long-term service.

Product processing

316L Octagonal Gasket Product Processing

1.Raw Material Inspection:
The raw material is ASTM A182 F316L stainless steel solid round bar. Upon arrival, we carry out a full incoming inspection: perform spectrometer chemical composition analysis to confirm it meets 316L low-carbon stainless steel requirements; conduct tensile and hardness testing to verify mechanical properties; visually check for cracks, porosity, inclusions and surface scratches; measure bar diameter and straightness. Any non-conforming material will be marked, isolated and returned to the supplier to prevent mixing into production.

2.Saw Cutting & Hot Forging:
Use a band saw to cut the qualified round bar into single blanks with extra machining allowance. Transfer blanks to the heating furnace and heat to the specified forging temperature range. Carry out closed-die hot forging to form rough annular blanks, strictly control forging pressure and deformation rate to refine internal grain structure and improve material compactness. After forging, air cool the ring blank to room temperature, then straighten to correct ovality and warping caused by forging stress.

3.CNC Rough Turning:
Secure the forged ring blank on a CNC lathe fixture. Rough-turn the inner diameter, outer diameter and two end faces, uniformly reserve finishing tolerance allowance for subsequent precision machining. Remove oxide scale, forging flash and obvious surface defects. After rough machining, clean off cutting chips and coolant residue for the next process.

4.Vacuum Stress Relief Heat Treatment:
Load the rough-machined ring blanks into a vacuum heat treatment furnace to perform stress relief annealing. The vacuum environment avoids surface oxidation and discoloration. This process eliminates residual stress generated during forging and rough turning, effectively preventing size distortion and sealing profile deformation in the follow-up finishing and service. After heat treatment, the blanks are slowly cooled inside the furnace.

5.CNC Finishing & Octagonal Profile Machining:
Clamp the stress-relieved blank for precision finishing. Finish-turn inner diameter, outer diameter and end faces to drawing tolerance. Machine the standard octagonal sealing groove profile in strict accordance with ASME B16.20 standard, precisely control the sealing surface angle, width, parallelism and concentricity. After turning, perform fine grinding and buffing on the two octagonal sealing surfaces to reach required surface roughness, ensuring tight metal-to-metal sealing performance under high pressure.

6.Final Inspection, Ultrasonic Cleaning & Packaging:
Carry out 100% dimensional inspection with calipers, micrometers and profile gauge; check surface roughness, hardness and visual appearance for burrs, scratches or dents. Qualified gaskets go through ultrasonic degreasing cleaning to remove cutting oil, fine metal chips and dirt, then fully dried in a dust-free area. Wrap each gasket with anti-rust paper, place into sealed packaging box with desiccant, label part number, material, batch number and inspection mark to avoid scratches, corrosion and contamination before delivery.
