The difference between alloy steel and carbon steel flanges

Often used to increase strength or spread the load, a flange is a protruding ridge or rim. In spite of the fact that both carbon steel and alloy steel properties are extremely popular for flanges, they differ in their types of materials.  It is possible to modify alloy steel to contain a variety of elements according to its intended use

ALLOY STEEL

As a result of alloying, steel has improved mechanical properties.  Future applications will benefit from the variety of elements used. The word is alloy steel does not mean every steel is an alloy of steel.

USES AND APPLICATION OF TYPES OF  ALLOY STEEL:

There are many applications for alloy steel flanges.  Despite its low alloy content, low alloy steel has many applications due to its cost effectiveness. Ships, pipelines, pressure vessels, and offshore drilling platforms use it

ADVANTAGES OF ALLOY STEEL

1. Corrosion resistance 2. Powerful parts 3.Efficient at high temperatures 4.Heat dissipation properties 5. Durable 6. Tough 7. Lightweight 8. High tensile strength

CARBON STEEL

Steel with a higher carbon content than regular iron is called carbon steel.  Steels with carbon content less than 0.30% are called low or mild carbon steel, steels with carbon content between 0.30% and 0.60% is classified as medium carbon steel, and steels with carbon content greater than 0.60% are classified as high carbon steel.

USES AND APPLICATION OF CARBON STEEL

For fields that require a higher level of strength, carbon steel flanges are a preferred material. Machine parts, gears, railway tracks, train wheels, and crankshafts made from medium carbon steel are usually used in applications requiring higher strength and toughness.

1. Strengthful 2. Ductility is great 3. Ensures durability 4. Safe to process 5. Economical / Budget-friendly 6. Healthy and long-lasting cookware 7. Environment friendly
