Titanium Socket Welding Flange is a special Titanium Flange for piping connections, the main feature of which is that it is manufactured using Titanium Material or Titanium Alloy material. This type of flange is usually used where corrosion resistance, light weight and high strength are required.” Socket Welding” refers to a type of flange connection where one end of the flange is designed to be inserted into the pipeline and secured by welding, which is suitable for small diameter pipelines.
Titanium is widely used in chemical industry, marine engineering, aerospace and other fields due to its excellent corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and low density. Titanium socket weld flanges are ideal in environments where resistance to strong acids, alkalis or other corrosive media is required.
Overall, titanium socket weld flanges are a highly corrosion-resistant, high-strength pipeline connecting component specially designed for specific application environments.Titanium socket weld flanges are a type of connector used in high-pressure and corrosive environments, which are usually used with piping or other equipment that is connected by welding. Titanium is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, making titanium socket flanges ideal for many industrial applications. Below is the general fabrication process for titanium socket weld flanges:
1. Material Preparation: First of all, you need to prepare titanium or titanium alloy plate or Titanium Rod that meet the standard requirements. These materials must undergo strict quality checks to ensure that their chemical composition and mechanical properties meet the design requirements.
2. Unloading: According to the requirements of the design drawings, the raw materials are cut accurately to get the flange blanks of the required size and shape.
3. Forming process: the cut material is molded into the basic shape of the flange by forging, stamping and other methods. Special attention needs to be paid to temperature control in the molding process because titanium oxidizes easily at high temperatures, affecting the material properties.
4. Machining: The molded flange is subjected to finish machining, including turning, milling and other processes, so as to meet the requirements of precise size and surface finish. Especially the socketed parts need very precise fitting dimensions to ensure good sealing and welding quality.
5. Welding preparation: Before welding, the welding area needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove oil, oxidized layer and other impurities to ensure welding quality.
6. Welding: Use appropriate welding techniques (such as TIG welding) to connect the flange to the pipe or other components. When welding, care needs to be taken to control the welding heat input to avoid overheating of the material leading to performance degradation.
7. Heat treatment: annealing may be required in some cases to eliminate welding stress and improve the mechanical properties of the material.
8. Inspection: Finally, the finished product is subjected to strict inspection, including size inspection, appearance inspection and necessary non-destructive testing (such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, etc.) to ensure that the product quality meets the standard requirements.
The production of titanium socket weld flanges is a complex process involving multiple steps and technical requirements, and each step needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.
