Titanium flanges are a part that interconnects pipe to pipe using the non-ferrous metal titanium or Titanium Alloy, attached to the end of the pipe. Titanium flanges have eyelets and bolts to keep the two flanges tightly connected. The flanges are sealed with gaskets. Flanged fittings refer to fittings with a flange (flange or catch plate). It can be made of casting, or threaded connection or welded composition. Flange connection consists of a pair of flanges, a gasket and a number of bolts and nuts. The gasket is placed between the two flange sealing surface, after tightening the nut, the specific pressure on the surface of the gasket reaches a certain value to produce deformation, and fill the unevenness on the sealing surface, so that the coupling is tight and not leakage. Write down to understand the production process of Titanium Flange.
Titanium flange production process
Selection of high-quality billet blanking, heating, molding, cooling after forging. The forging process includes free forging, die forging and mold forging. When producing, choose different forging methods according to the quality and quantity of forgings.
Basic steps of free forging: In free forging, the shape of the forgings is gradually forged through some basic deformation steps. The basic processes of free forging include upsetting, deep drawing, punching, bending and cutting.
Upsetting is the process of forging the original billet in the axial direction so that it has an operating system that reduces the height and increases the cross-sectional area. This production process is commonly used for forging gear blanks and other disk-shaped forgings. Upsetting is divided into enterprise all upsetting and local upsetting two kinds.
Deep drawing is a kind of forging process to increase the length of billet and reduce the cross-section. Usually used for lathe spindle, connecting rod and other shaft parts of the blank processing.
A forging process in which a punch is used to penetrate or not penetrate a hole in the billet.
A forging process in which a billet is bent to a certain angle or shape.
A forging process in which a portion of a billet is rotated at an angle relative to another portion.
The forging process of cutting and cutting a billet or cutting head.
Die forging, also known as die forging, is the forging of a heated blank on a die fixed to a die forging machine. Commonly used die forging equipment include die forging hammers, hot die forging presses, flat forging machines, and friction presses.
Cutting Flanges
The inner and outer diameters and thickness of the flange are cut directly on the center plate, and then the bolt holes and waterline are processed. The flange produced in this way is called cut flange. The maximum diameter of this flange is limited to the width of the center plate.
Rolled Flanges
The process of cutting strips from the center plate and then rolling them into rounds can be called rolled, mostly used in the production of some large flanges. After the rolled flanges are successfully rolled, they can be welded, then flattened, and then processed with waterline and bolt hole technology.
