Forged F317L Stainless Steel Flange For Heat Exchanger Of Pressure Vessel

 
F317L (ASTM A182 F317L/UNS S31703/1.4438) It is a low-carbon high molybdenum austenitic stainless steel with a carbon content of ≤ 0.03%, completely eliminating intergranular corrosion after welding. This flange adopts integral forging process and implements ASME/ASTM core standards. It is specially designed for the connection of heat exchangers and pressure vessels with strong corrosion, medium high temperature and high pressure on the tube/shell side. After welding, there is no risk of intergranular corrosion, and its resistance to chloride pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is significantly better than 316L.

Product Advantage

  • Super corrosion resistance: high Mo (3-4%), suitable for working conditions in seawater, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid containing Cl ⁻, with a critical pitting temperature (CPT) significantly higher than 316L;

  • Welding friendly: Low carbon+stable austenite, can be used without heat treatment after welding, high welding efficiency of heat exchanger tube plate flange assembly;

  • Forging strengthening: Forging ratio ≥ 3, continuous metal flow lines, elimination of internal shrinkage and looseness, better fatigue and impact resistance than cast flanges;

  • Temperature applicability: Long term use temperature -196 ℃ to 450 ℃, suitable for alternating working conditions of hot and cold media in heat exchangers

3. Manufacturing And Testing Process
  • Raw materials: using electric furnace/electric arc furnace+AOD/VOD refining A182 F317L forging billet to prevent hydrogen induced cracking

  • Forging: Control heating temperature of 1100-1200 ℃, multi-directional forging to ensure grain refinement and no shrinkage/inclusions

  • Heat treatment: solution treatment at 1040-1100 ℃, water cooling to completely eliminate forging stress and obtain uniform austenite structure

  • Non destructive testing: 100% UT (ultrasonic) testing of the interior of forgings, RT spot checks, surface MT/PT testing

Product Uses

  • Chemical/Petrochemical: Hydrochloric acid regeneration unit, sulfuric acid cooler, chlorine gas drying tower;

  • Marine engineering: seawater heat exchanger, offshore platform condenser;

  • Pharmaceutical/paper-making: Heating/cooling system for highly corrosive media;

  • Nuclear power: auxiliary circuit heat exchanger.
