Effect of forging process on microstructure 2219 aluminum alloy flange

In order to solve the problems of 2219 aluminum alloy flange forgings, such as coarse grain, vertical fiber direction and structural stress direction, the effect of forging process on its structure and properties was studied by means of room temperature tensile test and optical microscope. The results show that the single upsetting process has little […]

Why must the customer ask about the tolerance when inquiring about stainless steel plate?

Why must the customer ask about the tolerance when inquiring about stainless steel plate? What are tolerances? Tolerance is the accepted permissible deviation in length or thickness, which is a very important term in the buying and selling of stainless steel plate and sheet as well as in the application process. The actual thickness of the stainless steel […]

Pipe end and wall thickness defect inspection of steel pipes

Defects such as uneven wall thickness can exist at both ends of the pipe after rolling is completed, so each pipe is partially removed from both ends. This article describes how to know the defective part of the pipe end. Steel pipe has a hollow cross-section, the length of which is much greater than the diameter […]

Selection strategies for valves commonly used in chemical design

Valve selection is the top priority of chemical design, so the chemical design needs to be based on the valve type, metal material, use, characteristics, etc., for the correct selection of valves, the only way to ensure the safety and reliability of chemical production and improve the economic efficiency of chemical enterprises. Based on this, the basic principles of […]

Glossary of Terms

Age Hardening Martensitic stainless steels are hardened by heating above their critical temperature, holding them at heat to insure uniform temperature, and cooling them rapidly by quenching in air or oil. Alloying Element The adding of any metallic element in stainless steel production in order to increase hardness, strength, or corrosion resistance. Molybdenum, nickel, and […]

What are forging?

What are forging? Forging is a manufacturing process where metal is pressed, pounded, or squeezed under great pressure into high-strength parts known as forgings. Asking the right questions will help you determine who is the right supplier for your company and what forging method can best meet your needs. Forgings are generally made from alloy steel, stainless steel, or […]
