Stainless Steel 348 Flanges

Stainless steel 348 flanges are made from an alloy primarily composed of chromium, nickel, and iron. This unique combination of properties gives stainless steel 348 flanges excellent strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for many applications, such as pharmaceutical and petrochemical processing. In addition to the primary elements just mentioned, the alloy also contains small amounts of carbon, silicon, and molybdenum. Supporting these elements are trace amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen, which help to improve the alloy's oxidation-resistant qualities. As a result, 348 stainless steel flanges provide superior performance with excellent durability in even the most extreme industrial situations.

SS 348 Flanges are utilized in many industrial operations due to their durability and rust-proof properties. The flanges are made from a martensitic stainless steel alloy composed of 19% chromium, 11% nickel, and 0.10 maximum carbon. This distinctive mix of metals makes it more robust than other alloys. It creates excellent corrosion resistance, making these flanges suitable for operations that involve exposure to salts, acids, or moisture. The good machinability and heat-resisting qualities of this stainless steel alloy make the 348 Stainless Steel Flanges an ideal choice for either welding or bolting uses along piping systems, especially where clean surfaces are required.
