Forged 17-4PH Stainless Steel Flange For Heat Exchanger Of Pressure Vessel

 
17-4PH (UNS S17400, 1.4542, 05Cr17Ni4Cu4Nb) is a martensitic precipitation hardened stainless steel, which achieves high strength by precipitation of copper rich nano precipitates through solid solution and aging heat treatment; The forging process can completely eliminate internal looseness and shrinkage, significantly improve tissue density and fatigue/impact resistance, and is the core sealing component for heat exchanger tube box, pressure vessel cylinder/tube sheet connection under high pressure and strong corrosion conditions.

Product Advantage

  • Forging organization optimization: Forging deformation eliminates internal looseness/porosity, forms dense fiber flow, improves strength and fatigue resistance, far superior to castings;

  • Heat treatment can be customized: H900 pursues the highest strength (tensile strength ≈ 1310MPa); H1150 balances toughness and stress corrosion resistance;

  • Moderate corrosion resistance: The corrosion resistance to atmosphere, dilute acid, steam, and neutral salt solution is close to 304, suitable for non strong chlorine working conditions;

  • High dimensional accuracy: sealing surface roughness Ra ≤ 1.6 μ m, bolt hole position accuracy ± 0.1mm, suitable for long-term sealing of metal winding gaskets/graphite composite gaskets;

  • Weldable+Machinable: The solid solution state is easy to process, and after welding, it needs to be re aged to restore its performance.

3. Manufacturing Process
  • Forging: Select S17400 electric slag remelting/vacuum arc remelting steel ingots, hot forging in the range of 1120-1180 ℃, three-way upsetting+elongation, forging ratio ≥ 3, thoroughly break the casting structure; Timely stress relief annealing after forging

  • Heat treatment: Solid solution 1040 ± 15 ℃, water-cooled/oil cooled; Select H900 or H1150 aging according to operating conditions

  • Non destructive testing: 100% ultrasonic testing (UT, according to ASTM A388); Surface MT/PT testing; The roughness of the flange sealing surface Ra is ≤ 1.6 μ m; Dimensional tolerances shall be in accordance with ASME B16.5 Class 150-2500

  • Surface treatment: Acid pickling passivation (ASTM A967), removal of oxide scale, strengthening of passivation film

Product Uses

  • High pressure shell and tube heat exchanger: tube box flange, tube plate flange integrated piece, medium is steam, synthetic ammonia, organic acid;

  • Pressure vessel connecting flange: inlet and outlet of reaction kettle and storage tank, pressure 10-35 MPa;

  • Desalination of seawater/papermaking: below 300 ℃, medium chloride ion concentration environment;

  • Nuclear grade auxiliary systems: control rod drive mechanism, waste heat exchanger.
