The performance and durability of a flange are largely determined by the material from which it is made. Selecting the right material is essential to ensure that the flange can withstand extreme pressure, temperature, corrosion, and other operational challenges. At Hilton Metal Industries, we offer a wide range of materials to suit the diverse needs of our clients.
Common Materials Used in Flange Manufacturing
Properties: Nickel alloys offer
Stainless Steel
Properties: Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and staining, making it an ideal material for applications in the chemical, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries. It also has excellent strength at high temperatures.
Applications: Widely used in applications requiring high corrosion resistance, such as in the food, beverage, and marine industries.
Carbon Steel
Properties: Carbon steel is strong, durable, and cost-effective. It is often used in environments that don’t involve extreme corrosion or high temperatures.
Applications: Common in the oil and gas, water treatment, and construction industries.
Alloy Steel
Properties: Alloy steel is made by adding other elements such as chromium, molybdenum, or vanadium to steel to improve its strength, toughness, and resistance to corrosion.
Applications: Used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, such as power plants and petrochemical industries.
