Channels are typically connected with 321 stainless steel flanges, which are also a common part of many contemporary applications. We offer a variety of features for these flanges, including length, standard, surface finish, dimensions, wall thickness, and end finish.
The product is being made in compliance with the demands of the customers. These flanges are used in a wide range of industries, including power generation, petrochemicals, seawater equipment, chemical equipment, etc.
Chromium-nickel stainless steel with austenitic titanium stabilization called Alloy 321 was developed to have resistance to intergranular corrosion. For applications that need welding at high temperatures, this is taken into consideration. The composition of the alloy is 0.08 percent carbon, 0.75 percent silicon, 0.10 percent nitrogen, and 2 percent manganese. This also stops the synthesis of chromium carbide in the material, in addition to titanium. The titanium addition reduces or completely eliminates carbide precipitation in SS 321 Flanges during welding and at service temperatures between 800°F and 1500°F. Uses for stainless steel 321 slip-on flanges include annealing covers, heavy-duty and diesel vehicle exhaust systems, high-temperature tempering equipment, etc. However, welded stainless steel 321 blind flanges should never be used in extremely oxidizing conditions since they are susceptible to “Knife-line” damage.
