Lap joint flanges are a type of flange used in piping systems to connect two pipes or pipe fittings. They consist of a flat, circular plate with a raised inner lip that fits over the end of the pipe. The flange is then secured to the pipe by bolting it together with another lap joint flange. One of...
The socket welded flange with necks is a type of flange commonly used in piping systems. It is designed to provide a strong and leak-proof connection between pipes or pipe fittings. This type of flange has a raised face with a smooth surface, which allows for easy welding and ensures a good seal. One...
2. Simulation tests of welding Austenitic stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, but austenitic stainless steel often forms grain boundary carbide accumulation at the welding seam in actual production, especially in the heat-affected zone after welding, and finally causes intergranular...
Abstract: Corrosion occurred in the pickling process after welding the stainless steel 304L flange and stainless steel pipe. Macroscopic inspection, chemical composition analysis, metallographic inspection, SEM, heat treatment simulation and other methods were used to analyze the corrosion at...
