Alloy Steel UNS S50400 Flanges

Alloy steel uns S50400 flanges are strong and highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Offering superior welding, machining, and forming capabilities, these flanges can hold up in extremely high and low temperatures. This makes them the perfect choice for oil refineries, chemical plants, power plants, aerospace components, and automotive parts. In addition, their durability allows them to withstand many years of wear and tear with minimal maintenance needs. With a variety of styles to choose from, such as Slip On Flanges (SO), Blind Flanges (BL) or Enclosed Hubbed/Blindness Flanges (HD), this type of alloy steel flange offers versatility and reliability in any situation.

S50400 Alloy Steel UNS Flanges are made from a combination of iron and carbon, with small amounts of manganese, silicon, phosphorous, sulfur, and chromium added in different quantities. The chromium in the steel makes it corrosion-resistant and allows for an even distribution of hardening elements which helps to increase its strength. Manganese increases wear resistance, while silicon boosts machinability. Lastly, phosphorus helps reduce grains' overall size, and sulfur helps enhance forging operations when forming conventional parts from this material. Thus, engineering alloy steels such as UNS S50400 can provide excellent strength and hardness for heavy-duty jobs through careful composition.
