What’s the common flange materials?

As an important component for connecting pipes and devices, flanges can be made of many different materials. The following are common flange materials:

  1. Carbon Steel: Carbon steel flanges have good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance and are often used in general industrial applications.
  2. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel flanges have excellent corrosion resistance and can resist corrosion from harmful substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts. They are commonly used in chemical industry, food processing and other fields.
  3. Cast Iron: Cast iron flange has high strength and wear resistance, and is suitable for applications with high pressure, high temperature and corrosive media.
  4. Cast Steel: Cast steel flange has good corrosion resistance and high strength, and is suitable for applications with high pressure, high temperature and corrosive media.
  5. Brass: Brass flanges have good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance and are commonly used in plumbing, aerospace and other fields.

In addition, there are other flanges made of special materials, such as nickel alloy, titanium alloy, etc., which are used in special environments or specific industrial fields. The selection of appropriate flange material should be evaluated and decided based on specific application requirements, including media, temperature, pressure and other factors.
