Development History and Performance of Stainless Steel Flanges

Originated in the 1980s and after more than 20 years' development and exploration, the stainless steel flange industry begins to take shape at present. The stainless steel flange is a kind of pipe fitting and is mainly made of stainless steel material. With the development of the economy, the application of stainless steel flange also becomes more and more popular and wide. Through analyzing the corrosion resistance of stainless steel surfaces' passivation layers and combining with advanced production technology and equipment applications, flange experts have manufactured the stainless steel clamp which not only has met the demand of daily production and life, but also has filled the gaps in this field in China.
 
Over the past decade, driven by the rapid development of China's macroeconomic, China's stainless steel flange industry has been developing rapidly. Stainless steel flanges have become more and more popular with their environmental and safe characteristics, and have played an important and irreplaceable role in life and industrial applications. A huge market certainly brings a fierce competitive situation. In the past few years, there have been too many enterprises in this industry and the competition among product sales have been extremely intense.
 
Stainless steel flanges have the obvious advantages of corrosion, pitting, rust and wear resistance. Stainless steel is one of the metallic building materials with high strength, because it has good corrosion resistance and it allows the structural parts to permanently maintain the integrity of the engineering design. Chromium-containing stainless steel stamping flanges, whose parts are easy to be manufactured, even have both the good mechanical strength and high elongation performance, which can meet the requirements of both the architects and the structural designers.
 
Stainless steel flanges, other steel welded and forged pipe fittings are usually made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel, alloy steel, etc. Domestic and foreign high-quality flanges, elbows, tees, elbows, etc. are produced in accordance with American standard ASME(ANSI), Germany standard DIN, Japanese standard JIS, Chinese standard GB/T, JB, SH, HG and other standards. Domestic and foreign manufacturers also produce stainless steel pipe fittings as well as stainless steel flanges which are special, non-standard, difficult to be made, or with very thick wall according to customers' requirements.
 
With the rapid development of China's stainless steel flange market, applications, research and development of the relevant core production technology will become the focus of the industries' attention. In order to occupy a favorable position on the market, stainless steel flange production enterprises must continue to open up new application fields and strengthen their brand upgrade in response to the fierce competition.
