Forged F420 Stainless Steel Flange For Heat Exchanger Of Pressure Vessel

 
F420 is a typical martensitic stainless steel forging flange, which follows the core standard ASTM A182/A182M. The flange size/pressure rating follows ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47; Used for connecting the tube side and shell side pipe openings of pressure vessels and shell and tube heat exchangers, high hardness, wear resistance, and good sealing reliability are obtained through forging and heat treatment, and can be stably used in medium temperature and medium corrosion conditions; Different from austenitic stainless steel, it can be strengthened by heat treatment, but its resistance to chloride ion stress corrosion is weaker than that of duplex steel/316L.

Product Advantage

  • Martensitic steel has high hardness, good wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance (better than carbon steel, weaker than austenitic 316L; suitable for neutral/weak corrosion, steam, and oil working conditions);

  • The forging process further enhances the density and impact toughness, eliminating casting defects.

4. Manufacturing Process
  • Forging: Free forging/die forging must be used; Forging ratio ≥ 3, ultrasonic testing (UT) shall be carried out in accordance with ASTM A388, and Class I/II shall be qualified; Forging without cracks, inclusions, or folds

  • Heat treatment: Annealing at 815~845 ℃ for insulation, furnace cooling to 600 ℃ and then air cooling; Quenching and tempering treatment: oil quenching at 980-1010 ℃, tempering at 600-700 ℃

  • Mechanical processing: The surface roughness Ra of the flange sealing surface (RF/FF/RTJ) is ≤ 1.6 μ m; Bolt hole accuracy H12; The groove meets the requirements of ASME B16.5

Product Uses

  • Petrochemical industry: hydrogenation unit heat exchanger, reforming heat exchanger, steam generator

  • Electricity: condenser, feedwater heater

  • Pharmaceutical/Food: Clean steam heat exchanger (requiring surface treatment)
