One of the most attractive features of stainless steel is that there are different varieties of the alloy, thus making it easier for the supplier to choose from the many characteristics it offers. Depending on the demands of the application, industries across the globe have a choice of choosing between any of the four classes of stainless steels. Two of the most commonly used classes of Stainless Steel Flanges are ferritic and austenitic classes. There are several property differences between both these classes, thus they cater to different applications. For instance, in applications where toughness is considered to be the most important feature along with hardness and high mechanical strength, using Ferritic Stainless Steel Exhaust Flanges in these applications would ensure good performance and longevity of the piping system.
Austenitic stainless steel has good ductility properties, which makes it easier to shape or forge in comparison to ferritic stainless steel.
But in instances where corrosion resistance properties along with good mechanical strength are considered as the chief requirement, using Austenitic SS Forged Flanges would be ideal. SS Pipe Flanges Manufacturers In India often recommend treating the surface of these flanges in order to improve their service life and increase their corrosion resistance properties. For e.g. treating a flange with hot dip galvanization, where they have been coated with a layer of zinc is known to improve the corrosion resistance properties of these flanges to some extent. This is because the zinc layer coating the SS Pipe Flanges is what acts as a protective layer. Although in terms of performance, Stainless Steel Screwed Flanges prove to be a better alternative to both alloy steel and carbon steels, the cost of these components are much higher than the former.
