SAE Closed Flange is an austenitic stainless steel flange renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it a preferred choice in industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine engineering. Its corrosion resistance is primarily attributed to its chemical composition and microstructure, particularly the addition of molybdenum (Mo), which significantly enhances its performance in various corrosive media. By utilizing SS316 material, SAE Closed Flange further improves its suitability for harsh environments, establishing itself as a top choice for high-pressure and corrosive applications.
1. Chemical Composition and Corrosion Resistance
The typical chemical composition of SAE Closed Flange is as follows:
Chromium (Cr): 16-18%
Chromium forms a dense chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃) passive layer on the surface, effectively preventing corrosive media from contacting the base metal.
