Stainless Steel 316L Flanges

What is stainless steel 316L flange?

A flange which comprises lower carbon contents is ss 316L flange. This flange is widely demanded by wide range of industries, where strength is taken into consideration as they exhibit superb toughness.

Adding to this, they offer higher creep resistance when comparted to nickel-chromium stainless steel, although comprising high chromium and nickel contents in their chemical mixture.

What are the advantages of using stainless steel 316L flanges?

Rather than providing resistance to corrosive environments, SS 316L Forged Flanges provide huge benefits for wide range of industries and standards because of the following below advantages:

• Carbon precipitation is eliminated with the help of stainless steel 316L RTJ flange, thanks to the lower contents of carbon.
• Because of the added molybdenum, it improves corrosion resisting properties.
• The flanges can be used in extreme corrosion resistive scenarios, where we would also need high pressure and temperatures.

SS 316L forged flanges chemcial and mechanical properties

What is the corrosion resistive behaviour of stainless steel 316L flanges?

Other than withstanding extreme conditions, you would see UNS S31603 plate flange exhibiting good corrosion resistance. They even resist pitting, crevice corrosions and when exposed to temperatures above 60⁰C, it resists stress corrosion cracking.

They even resist water comprising 1000mg/L chlorides, when exposed to ambient temperatures and at 60⁰C, it reduces to about 500mg/L.

Very important to note that 316L SS lap joint flange do not resist warm water.

Does SS 316L flanges show heat resistance?

At temperature services of 870⁰C, you would see DIN 1.4404 socket weld flange showing intermittent oxidation resistance. It also shows good resistance to oxidation at 925⁰C temperature, continuously.

Adding to this, Inox 316L blind flanges are more resistive to carbide precipitation and can exhibit good properties above the temperature range.

Because they have good strength at extreme temperature standards, SS 316L weld neck flange is also sometimes seen in pressure containing applications above 500⁰C temperature.

What is ss 316L flanges machining and welding characteristics?

Other than withstanding extreme pressure and temperature scenarios, you would see stainless steel 316L expander flange being welded with the help of fusion methods. Also, you cannot weld using oxyacetylene welding methods.

On the other hand, if machined very fast, stainless steel 316L orifice flange tends to work harden. Adding to this, they are easy to harden because of low carbon contents.
